Senator Scott Brown Watch
Where inthehell is Scott Brown? The voters have spoken! Why hasn't he been sworn in? And why is Kirk still voting? How inthehell is that legal? Kirk became the 60th vote for raising the debt ceiling. Would Brown have voted yea?
And why is no one mentioning it? I've only found one small mention of this fact, even in the blogosphere.
Time to get grumpy.
Thomas Lifson adds: Republican senators have got to take a principled stand against extending the debt ceiling. If Senator Brown had been there, the GOP would have had to make good on the threat of no extension.
But it is time for the charade to end, and stop waiting to officially seat him. Nobody has any doubt Brown was elected, and it is time the voters of Massachusetts had the senator they voted for.
