Ouch, the possibility that Torch's seat could be put to an election on 31 days notice (if he resigned his seat) is very bad.

I can no longer watch the proceedings (C-SPAN now has 15 1-minute speeches which will take at least an hour). Please keep us posted on what is going on!
Thanks!

I don't think this is true. The SCOTUS has already dealt with a case like this, and ruled that such an election for a federal seat would have to be held on the next federal election day.
