Sadly the Dems have rahmed through a few Bills and several nominations that wouldn’t have seen the light of day if Brown had been seated. I hope November 2010 isn’t too late to save our country.

"Once we get his certificate we expect to swear him in tomorrow afternoon as early as five o'clock, which is earlier than he suggested," said Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), in an interview Wednesday.

These scum cannot ever admit they screwed up, lied, cheated or misled us.

About time! If it was a Dem taking a open or pubbie seat, it would have been next day.

I bet they are only doing this so the Kirk votes are not disputed.

This should teach the Republicans a lesson - FIGHT!

The Dems were originally planning to hold up Brown's seating for many weeks or longer using every trick in the books. The Republicans fought back and the Dems backed down. The Dems wanted to delay it for one more week, the Republicans fought and the Dems backed down again.

How long have the spineless Republicans been bullied by the Dems using empty threats and bluffs. Finally they fight back and the Democrats folded. Do it more!

As so many of us have repeatedly seen, headlines
can and DO change in online articles .. sometimes
within seconds of the time we posted it.

I believe so ... but, of course, the
Congresscreeps might have a different idea.

IT’S NOT OVER TIL IT’S OVER.
