Sidebar: Debate over vacant Senate seat begins

(NECN) - A special election to fill Senator Edward Kennedy's Senate seat in Washington will be held on January 19.

Governor Patrick is urging lawmakers to pass legislation allowing him to appoint an interim senator.

Suffolk University Law School professor Joe McEttrick joins NECN with more on the debate surrounding the vacant senate seat.

McEttrick testified in 2004 when the current law regarding interim replacements was enacted.
