2. It will be interesting if he's elected to the Senate.

While Governor, he's continued to live in his home in White Sulphur Springs, about 120 miles away from Charleston, the state capitol. He was sued by a Democratic member of the House of Delegates, as the state constitution requires the gov to live in the state capitol. The state Supreme Court said that he had to "reside at the seat of government". He agreed, paid court costs, and continues to live in White Sulphur Springs, so that he can coach the girl's basketball team at Greenbrier East High School.

Washington, DC, is roughly 250 miles from White Sulphur Springs. I would not be surprised if the Republicans have trouble getting Justice to show up for committee meetings and Senate votes, at least during basketball season.
