Republican Scott Brown’s lawyer sent a letter to liberal Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick today demanding that he be sworn in immediately.
SFGate reported:
The Republican who captured the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s seat says he wants to be sworn in immediately, not next week as planned.
An attorney for Scott Brown says in a letter Wednesday to Massachusetts Gov. Deval (deh-VAHL’) Patrick that the senator-elect has been told there may be votes in which he wants to participate.
The attorney says Brown wants the results of the Jan. 19 election certified by 11 a.m. Thursday so they can be forwarded to Senate officials for immediate action.
The Boston Globe says that Massachusetts’ officials will certify Brown’s win today and that he can be sworn in at any point afterward.
The Boston Globe reported:
Massachusetts officials are planning to formally certify the special US Senate election results today, allowing Senator-elect Scott Brown to be sworn in at any point afterward. Aides to Brown and the Senate leadership say the induction is planned for Feb. 11.
State election officials had to wait at least 10 days after the Jan. 19 election to allow overseas ballots to arrive. Those ballots have now been tallied, and all but three communities – Salem, Springfield, and Westfield – had submitted final results to the secretary of state’s office by late afternoon. Those three communities are expected to do the same before the Governor’s Council meets today to certify the results.
There were about 1,900 ballots sent overseas, which will not alter the results but still must be tallied.
State officials could have certified the win earlier but sat on the results for days.

Oh, so “moderate Scott” has finally had a fire lighted under his butt? I thought he was happy to be on the late-night talk-show circuit for a few more months.

Was just posing the question, “Did Brown get seated yet?” a second before the computer fired up and showed the headline. Did it take this long to get Al Franken seated the second they announced they’d done all the tallying they needed to overthrow the election?

Of course, with Kennedy gone, Kerry becomes the face of the stonewalling Senate Democrats in Massachusetts.

The Dems tried killing Brown with kindness while they kept him from being seated. It didn’t work.

The wheels are coming off the leftists’ wagon before it can deliver our nation to their wet dream of marxist totalitarianism.
Scott Brown finally got wise ! Where have the are the rest of the congressional republicans been since January 20th ? One guess is they have been to busy honing their posterior osculation skills on the DC libs and media marxists hoping to get invitations to their cocktail parties and salons because they have been good house slaves.

Are you sure the obumunists will allow elections in November? I am not when you listen to Odumber tell the democorrupts in Congress to ram his agenda through even though he knows it is not wanted by the American public. The Chicago thug street marxists & gangsters on Pennsylvania Avenue see themselves as anointed for life!

btw Jim Hoft,
Paid Political Ads on site should have the decency to identify themselves. Regarding the Perry-bashing by Joe Pounder that was on screen for a time, he is the Deputy Communications Director for the Kay Bailey Hutchison for TX governor campaign. Though Texans do not want Washington’s chicken coming home to roost, whether Perry or Hutchison, in comparison it’s six of one, half dozen of the other.
Regarding those career politicians with vested interests owed to globalists with the intent of abusing Texans, Texas deserves a brilliant Constitutional conservative who is not corrupted, Debra Medina.
VOTE TX GOV. MEDINA (Republican)
Utilize States Rights and Protect Citizens Rights.
Protect Patient’s Rights that neither Perry nor Hutchison comprehend.
Cut the budget. Eliminate fraud. Lip service will not do.
No property tax; no income tax. Only consumer tax between 6-11% determined in conjunction with the TX legislature.
Neither the Perry TX corridor highway nor the Hutchison pie in the sky rail system are affordable–both disregard property rights and spend TX taxes on outside and foreign corporations.
