   What happen to waiting for Brown to be seated before taking any important votes?

   What happened to voting on this extension of the debt ceiling before the SotU speech? Way to get rolled again, McConnell.

   Question: Why is Democrat MA Sen. Paul Kirk still voting?

   Exactly!

   Senate precedent is that Kirk’s role as Senator ended at the end of the day on January 19th… the day the election was held to fill the seat.

   This inquiring mind wants to know why too.

   BTW-Why hasn’t Scott Brown said anything about it?

   My thinking on why the rinos in the senate have not said anything about kirk is, they want the same thing the way the vote went, but being they are up for relection letting kirk vote makes them all warm and fuzzy with the voters. This whole thing stinks more than a skunk!

   More than likely, they didn’t object because this way the debt ceiling gets raised and the Dems take 100% of the blame for doing so.

   Indeed. The Weekly Standard researched this before the election.

   “But based on Massachusetts law, Senate precedent, and the U.S. Constitution, Republican attorneys said Kirk will no longer be a senator after election day, period.”

   Precedent: “Strom Thurmond was elected senator from South Carolina in 1956, succeeding an appointed senator. A resolution introduced by then-Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson established his Senate term to have begun the day after his election, weeks before his certification.”

   From Give Us Liberty “A CRS report notes that “[p]revailing practice is for state governors to fill Senate vacancies by appointment, with the appointee serving until a special election has been held, at which time the appointment expires immediately.”

   Why aren’t the Republicans, or anyone, challenging this vote? This is deeply weird.

    I don’t see any way out now but intentionally devaluing the currency, screwing the Chinese and other bond holders, and really putting the hurt on people living on fixed income.

    Zimbabwe/Weimar Republic type devaluation.

    Are there any Investigative Reporters left in Massachusetts who might be just a wee bit curious about why Kirk is still voting?

    This should be headline news in every newspaper and on every TV and radio station in the state!

    This is the people’s seat, and former Senator Kirk needs to get out of it!

    Are they making good on the threat of delaying Senator Scott Brown’s oath-taking? The press says the Massachusetts Secretary of State is not certifying results until all the absentee ballots are accounted for.

    Watch out everyone. They might do some black magic. Those in Mass., please check… be on the lookout!

    Sounds like both parties are being partisan but Obama only chastises one party. What a loser. Its also very dishonest and misleading. The Liar In Chief Komrade. (LICK)

    Any use of the supermajority vote in the Senate would be a violation of the peoples trust. They are pulling a fast one.

    They should not be passing any legislation that requires all the Dems to vote in block to pass including one vote that the people of UMASS replaced.

    That is downright deceitful and dishonest. These Dems are going down the tubes faster than a greased up Jamaican Bobsledder. They don’t even try to act civil anymore. Either the power has gone to their head or they are so desperate it is scary.

    They are shooting themselves in the foot but they continue to listen to the likes of Harry and Nancy and Obama.

    They used Ben Nelson like an old shoe and the old fool fell for it. So many others are too.

    Clearly, the Democrats motive for doing this is to bancrupt the United States of America. There is no other reason.

    Clearly, the only way for voters in the United States of America to remedy this ill is to remove all Democrat elected officials from office, whether by vote or crowbar.

    Anyone not willing to must be satisfied with living under the heavy hand of government and the massive debt they will take to their own grave.

    With the election of the Manchurian Candidate, and the Manchurian Congress, this Country has jumped out of the airplane without a parachute. The only thing that is inevitable now is a big splat. I don’t even see a repub landslide in November being able to put the toothpaste back in the tube. I hope our children and grandchildren forgive us; but if I were them I wouldnt.

    Have you forgotten, or just choose to ignore, the fact that nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to lower the marginal tax rate for the highest earning americans from 35% to 25% last year, which would cause the the debt to skyrocket like nothing the Democrats have proposed or enacted?

    Get serious.

    Here’s serious: 10% unemployment (~18 actual) vs. 4% – serious enough?

    Senator Burris’ office just hung up on me. I asked why he voted for this. She said, “To create jobs.” I then said, “Well, that doesn’t work. The only jobs created by government spending is public, not private sector jobs.” She then hung up. How I love political appointees vice elected officials. Now time to call Turban Durbin’s office.
