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?

The dems are masters of Borking, even in all of its nuanced forms.
I meant to comment earlier. I heard on the radio that they intentionally put off Brown's seating to pass a voting on expanding their spending budget. I don't remember the actualy figure, but in typical democrat fashion assume ridiculous piled on top of absurd.

I think the vote was on raising the debt limit (ceiling).
