(27,126 posts)(except likely in McConnell's head), but there is reason to believe that there should be a vacancy. But we can't establish that without medical information which nobody is permitted to get.
Meantime, are KY citizens represented in the Senate by 2 Senators or just one? Nobody is allowed to find out whether one of them is mentally functioning or mentally unable to function on their behalf.
Since McConnell has a history of mentally freezing up and being unresponsive in public so that he had to be led away while doing his job, and a month ago had a medical emergency at home, and has been silent for a month it is reasonable to ask for evidence that he can perform his job. Since his office refuses to give that evidence, other than a photo which says nothing about his mental ability, isn't it reasonable for the governor to request in court for that evidence on behalf of the KY citizens that the governor and Senator both serve?
I am not a lawyer, obviously. I can only point out what seems just and fair in the circumstances.
