I am all for seating Scott Brown now---on one condition |
|
He should have to say thank you and express his gratitude for the Democrats' gracious gesture of seating him promptly, in contrast to what happened to Al Franken.

2. Except you forget one thing |
|
Who was in charge of Congress when the decision to delay seating Franken was made?

4. what did Congress have to do with it? Wasn't that Pawlenty's call? |
|
along with the MN Supreme Court? Can Congress demand that Rep be seated before all the stste legal process has run its course? (assuming a Republican Governor's desire to delay--it might have worked differently with a Dem governor, maybe...)

7. Another indication that the Democrats really don't want to be in the majority. |
|
When it comes to extending their majority, they're fine with a 6-month delay. When it comes to decreasing their majority, they leap into action.

8. The MA election has not been contested. Ridiculous comparison. |
