With all of today's political news, I overlooked a real shocker. The Connecticut Supreme court held unanimously that Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz is not qualified to hold the office of Attorney General. The state constitution requires that the AG must have practiced law in connecticut for at least 10 years as a qualification to hold the office. Bysiewicz claimed that she was qualified, but she counted her term as Secretary of State as part of the ten years. The Supreme Court has now reached the obvious decision that practising law does not include holding political office.
This decision further upsets the Democrat ticket for state offices this year. Bysiewicz seemed to be a front runner in the race for the governors office until she dropped out to run for AG many months ago. since the nominating conventions are this weekend, the Democrats will have to scramble to find a candidate for AG. Of course, at the same convention the Democrats will have to deal with the fall out from the disclosure of the current AG Richard Blumenthal and his lies about his military record. Excuse me -- his misplaced words on numerous occasions.
It is quate a ticket that the Dems have assembled. For governor we will probably see Dan Malloy who has consistently lost in statewide races. For senator we will see Blumenthal. For AG we got Bysiewicz.
I have a slogan for the Dems: " A Loser, A Liar and an Unqualified Hack" That should win over many votes!!!
