Warren Demands Doug Jones Be Seated IMMEDIATELY. That’s Not How This Works, Princess.

December 13, 2017Alyssa Milano Wept Over Doug Jones’ Victory
December 13, 2017Democrat Doug Jones won last night’s highly contested special election against Roy Moore.
Yeah… I know. I don’t even want to get in to it. I’m drained.
Anyway, Elizabeth Warren DEMANDS that he be seated IMMEDIATELY!
I call on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to listen to the people of Alabama and seat @GDouglasJones without any delay.

And her cronies are ALL FOR IT. REPUBLICANS ARE JUST THE DEVIL OMG!
McConnell, the king of the #StolenSeat on the Supreme Court, needs to stop with the power grabs already.
— June Casagrande (@JuneCasagrande) December 13, 2017
McConnell is undemocratic, in every sense of the word. He is a disgrace to the office of Senator.

@SenateMajLdr Seat #DougJones immediately! The people have spoken. No vote on #TaxScam until he is seated.

This is important.
Mitch McConnell, who my late grandmother in Kentucky despised, just announced that he is going to refuse to seat Doug Jones for a month, until after Republicans vote again on the tax plan.
This is just plain wrong. https://t.co/JDjLfdFtWo

OMG! Professional race-baiter Shaun King’s grandmother HATED him, you guys! Obviously that’s super important. Totally relevant, Shaun. Thanks.
Anyway… these cupcakes all seem to forget how any of this works.
.@SenateMajLdr said during news conference that Sen. Strange would be in Senate thru remainder of session (12/31) in response to whether #ALSEN could impact GOP votes for tax bill

On what basis?
— John Culhane (@johnculhane) December 12, 2017
Takes time to certify a statewide race. State must certify before he (or anyone) can be seated.
— David M. Drucker (@DavidMDrucker) December 12, 2017
The guy writes for CNN… and even HE realizes this is NORMAL.
Get a GRIIIIIIP, Warren!
Alabama’s Secretary of State has 22 days to certify the results of today’s election; the winner won’t be seated before that happens. https://t.co/rSzMUwO2Yi

From McConnell spokesman @StewSays: “Once the state certifies and sends us the paperwork, the new Senator is sworn in. But since the state said they don’t expect to certify until the end of the month, and we expect to finish before the end of the month…” https://t.co/EpkAd41bS0

Additionally, Roy Moore hasn’t conceded.
Moore did not concede. Here’s what could happen next:
1) After certification – if Roy and Doug are within .5% of each other, there is an automatic recount.
2) Regardless of the final tally, after certification, Moore’s campaign could request and PAY for a state recount #alsen pic.twitter.com/78DJ7bALT3— Chris Davis WHNT (@ChrisDavisMMJ) December 13, 2017
Scott Brown won on Jan 19, wasn’t seated until Feb 4. We did this news cycle already. I was there. So were you.
— Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) December 13, 2017
So yeah… this isn’t some “power grab” …this is how it WORKS.
Leave it to Elizabeth Warren to get people all worked up about a common freaking process.
Idiot.
