Democratic Reps. Andy Kim, D-N.J., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., are scheduled to be sworn-in as U.S. senators on Monday after their placeholders George Helmy and Laphonza Butler resigned last week.

Schiff won the seat of longtime Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who died last year. Kim won the seat that was vacated by former Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. He resigned after he was convicted on federal bribery charges.

Their first formal vote in the Senate is expected to be on the confirmation of four district judges, according to Politico.

The new Congress convenes on Jan. 3.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Government; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: california; democrats; kim; newjersey; norms; schiff
When the left starts with the "restore the norms" and narrative that the GOP needs to "work across the aisle" b.s., we just need to say "heck no".

They are going to swear in these two and confirm every Democrat judicial nominee that is pending. If things were in reverse, the media would be screaming that nominees shouldn't be confirmed since the "people have spoken" and want the next President to fill these judicial seats.

We will try just as hard to work with you as you did to work with us on issues that are important to us.

The only thing this affects is seniority within the rat caucus in the Senate. The dems still worship the seniority system. The Republicans respect it, but since Contract With America days have been much more open to shuffling chairmanships.

A tear....it’s like a baby is born and an old mother dies down the hall.

Sleaziest Ever Schumer is near death, Sleaziest Rising Star Schiff is being birthed into the senate.

...the confusion sets in...

Can they actually do that? I mean, isn't there a governmental appointed date to swear in new senators? Heck, if the rats are pulling this, then every single GOP who their elections should be sworn in too.

The lengths they go thru to circumvent the law is astounding.

Democratic Reps. Andy Kim, D-N.J., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

Proof that the east and west coasts have went to rot when it comes to electing sane leaders.

The water must be bad.
