teddymandering
teddymandering is the practice of changing a law to benefit your political party, then reversing the change when your political party will benefit from the original rules to which you objected.
named for former m-ssachusetts senator edward m. kennedy, a.k.a. “teddy” kennedy. senator kennedy influenced the m-ssachusetts state legislature to change the senatorial succession law during the 2004 election. his reasons were strictly because senator john kerry, if elected president, would be replaced by an appointee of (then) governor mitt romney, a republican. at the time, kennedy was against any interim appointment until a special election could be held.
in 2009, as he neared death from brain cancer, kennedy asked the state legislature to revise the law so that the governor could make an interim appointment. the governor of m-ssachusetts in 2009 was (is) deval patrick, a democrat.
i don’t give a rodent’s rear end if the voters of m-ssachusetts didn’t vote for the teddymandering of kennedy’s senate seat even if they voted for the voters voting for a vacated senate seat before they voted against it.
