   1. And in doing so, he fulfilled his pledge to appoint an African American woman to the seat.

      And, she's a sister of Sappho!  

      Her biggest problem is that she doesn't currently live in CA although is quickly seeking to re-establish residency there.

      Besides, as precedent can't she point to Tommy Tuberville, the senator ostensibly from Alabama but who actually lives in Florida?

   John Oliver Can’t Help Piling on Boebert in Epic ‘Last Week Tonight’ Return

   “It was a torrid production of Beetlejuice: The Musical. I just need you to know that. I’m not saying it would be appropriate to engage in high-school freshman-era hand stuff during a production of any musical. I just want to be clear, this wasn’t one of the more sexually explicit ones like Spring Awakening or Rocky Horror or Cats. This was Beetlejuice. A show that’s quite loudly about death. I’m just saying, if you’re gonna get your nipples tweaked and your pipes squeaked, save that shit for Fiddler [On The Roof] like a goddamn adult.”

   It is my responsibility, my duty, and my job to enforce the law.

   No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law.
