Kirk. Out Delaying the swearing-in of Republican Scott Brown — should hell freeze over and he wins on Tuesday — will do no good because Democratic Senator Paul Kirk will be gone anyway. The election itself ends Kirk’s run, not the certification of the election, according to Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard. “But based on Massachusetts law, Senate precedent, and the U.S. Constitution, Republican attorneys said Kirk will no longer be a senator after election day, period. Brown meets the age, citizenship, and residency requirements in the Constitution to qualify for the Senate. ‘Qualification’ does not require state ‘certification,’ the lawyers said,” Barnes wrote. That may explain why the Democrats are working so feverishly this weekend in the mad hope of getting Obamacare in its final form for passage. Of course, the Senate rules the Senate and Democrats treat the Constitution as a nice welcome mat. blogs.dailymail.com
