I get asked this question at least once a day now and often more. And I keep answering individually. So let me try to address this in a post. Does Connecticut have a recall procedure that Nutmeg state voters can use to recall their faithless senator, Joe Lieberman?
No. They don’t.
In fact, as far as I know no state has such a law because it would be clearly unconstitutional. Members of Congress are federal officeholders and the federal constitution, not state law or state constitutions, defines the nature and term of their tenure.
So that’s it. No recall. No nuthin’.
The only thing to do about Joe Lieberman is elect more Democrats in 2008.
That could even be the 2008 slogan: Do it for Joe!
