I should be clear the Constitution in this case would be the Kentucky Constitution. And since this would likely involve the Kentucky State SC we can assume it’s even more MAGA and compromised than the SCOTUS.

Kentucky here- theyre all conservative extremist, but with a hope of seeming reasonable. They've sided with the democrat governor 3 times so far, while telling Republicans what loopholes they should use to get around them.

I expect they'll wait until its too late considering, then rule that he did have the right to appoint a replacement, but since they waited too long, it'll go to a normal election instead of a special one or allow him to pick.
