From The Hill:
Massachusetts Republicans called it a political power grab and questioned Patrick’s legal authority to appoint Kirk so soon after the State Legislature granted him the power.
The state GOP is seeking an injunction to delay the appointment, and the injunction will be the subject of an 8 a.m. Friday hearing. Kirk is set to be sworn in later in the day, at 3:15 p.m. in Washington.
Patrick is moving up the appointment to help Democrats gain a filibuster-proof majority.
