The Kentucky legislature took the power to call special elections away from him as soon as he came in to office

No they took away his power to appoint a replacement, which is still dubious because that’s in the KY constitution. The method he can use is calling a special election.

Exactly. Here’s where democrats really need to take a page out of the GOP playbook. Do the thing anyway, let the Kentucky GOP file a lawsuit, and make the courts determine if it’s within their power to do it without amending the state constitution.

Democrats are controlled opposition, when is that finally going to sink in with you people?

This "pretend to have no power" and "they go low we go high" nonsense is all show. They don't WANT to do what needs to be done.
