Update on Brown's Swearing In
The Hill reports that Senator-elect Scott Brown will be sworn in a week from Thursday (February 11). That would be 23 days after winning the special election to fill the vacancy left by the death of Ted Kennedy. Yesterday, FOX reported that a spokesman for Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin said he would file the certification papers "probably on Wednesday." Is there any reason to delay Brown's seating for over a week following the certification of the election? So far, no explanation has been given.
