Why has Brown not been seated?

A check of the Senate website still shows Paul Kirk (D-MA) as the junior senator from Massachusetts.

Kerry, John F. - (D - MA) Class II

218 RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON DC 20510

(202) 224-2742

Web Form: kerry.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm

Kirk, Paul G., Jr. - (D - MA) Class I

317 RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON DC 20510

(202) 224-4543

Web Form: kirk.senate.gov/contact/

The special election was on January 19th, 15 days ago. When Ted Kennedy won his own special election, he was seated a few days later. When Nikki Tsongas won a special election to a Massachusetts House seat, she was seated THE NEXT DAY by the Pelosi-led Democrats.

Scott Brown beat Coakley by 52-47 - not anywhere near needing a recount. The result is not in doubt - so why is Paul Kirk is still casting votes?
