Patrick signed the certification around 9:30 a.m. ET, which he was planning to do anyway on Thursday. Brown will be sworn in by Vice President Biden in a mock ceremony for the cameras at 5 p.m. ET.

How fast can they cram through everything that he won’t vote for. Aside from Obamacare, what do we know of Brown’s positions?

Democrats won’t like him at all on immigration reform.

“Immigration”

I recognize that our strength as a nation is built on the immigrant experience in America. I welcome legal immigration to this country. However, we are also a nation of laws and government should not adopt policies that encourage illegal immigration. Providing driver’s licenses and in-state tuition to illegal immigrant families will act as a magnet in drawing more people here in violation of the law and it will impose new costs on taxpayers.

I oppose amnesty, and I believe we ought to strengthen our border enforcement and institute an employment verification system with penalties for companies that hire illegal immigrants.

they are cramming through all kinds of appointees before he even gets here. They got Patricia Smith, Solicitor of Labor designee, through on a cloture vote, and now all she needs is a bare majority to be confirmed. I truly hope someone is able to keep Becker from getting through for the NLRB.

“With Signed Certification in Hand, Scott Brown Heads to Washington!”

With the POTUS as his example, does Mr. Brown also have a copy of his birth certificate? /sar

That awful Patricia Smith was voted on the day before yesterday and her nomination had been held up for almost a year, right? UGH.

Is Becker the one the union wants to cram through today?

Thank you - he appears wishy washy on abortion and other social issues, but hopefully will lean Right realizing who put him in there.

Not yet, but the MA governor has signed the certificate and he’ll be on the early afternoon flight to Washington, D.C.

The democrats are up to no good. They intend to hold votes today before he’s sworn-in.

Kirk should be done at 9:30am then, and no votes he casts will be credible.

We loathed Uncle Ted. Let's learn to love Scott Brown. His likes don't come along every day!
