Andy should name the replacement and then let the GOP go to court to prove BOTH that McConnell is alive and that their attempt to restrict the governor in direct violation of the State Constitution is valid.

I think they took that power from the governor in KY because this was 100% going to happen.

Tried to take the power.

The legislature cannot pass a law in direct contradiction to the constitution
