The Massachusetts Legislature laid the groundwork Wednesday for the announcement, when, after a contentious debate and a whirl of parliamentary maneuvering, it approved a bill allowing the governor to make an interim appointment.

Some fellow Democrats have joined Republicans in accusing Patrick of a power grab, but the governor said he was unfazed by the criticism.

"I'm quite satisfied that I am both within the law and within tradition," he said.

Democrats are running amok! Changing laws to whatever they please. When will the American people wake up? Is this the change you voted for? What's keeping them from changing laws in your state to take whatever they want there? In Michigan we had a republican governor who left office with the state having a SURPLUS. Now we have a democrat who quickly ran through the surplus and ran up a huge deficit. Wake up! Stop passing bills that you didn't read. Someone needs to challenge this! Where's the checks and balances?
