The Boston Globe reports that the Massachusetts state Senate is set to move tomorrow on the bill to provide for a temporary appointment to Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat — meaning that the seat could potentially be filled by a caretaker Democrat by the end of the week.
Republicans had delayed the measure on Friday, and did so again today. However, they only have the ability to delay one more time — but they say they won’t actually do it.
“I don’t know that there’s a lot to be gained by continuing to delay just to delay it,” said state Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei. “That’s not what we’re about. We’re trying to give people time to weigh in. We got the weekend out of it.”
