Former Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts tapped to fill Sasse’s Senate seat

[Gunny]

I'm always annoyed when Republicans pull this crap. I admit I could care less how many Dems quit :) Now we're getting an appointee instead of an elected Senator.

On one hand, it shows where Sasse's loyalty lies -- with himself, not the people. On the other hand, I can't really blame him for wanting to GTFO of DC, Republican't politics.

The GOP is just plain dysfunctional.

Nothing pulled. State law. And from the looks of it looks pretty similar to GA.

I didn't mean to suggest the appointment was illegal.

Gotcha. He left to be the head of the University of Florida. Once in a lifetime opportunity in my book.
