      He can’t swear her in because he dismissed the House. The House can’t work. He doesn’t want to do his job.

      Wait wait wait. This can’t be true because, didn’t he promise to swear her in once they returned from break.

      Republicans don’t lie /s

      It’s obvious the whole shutdown is a GOP gambit to protect their pedos. Gross

      I can swear in several languages, but I can’t swear in Grijalva.

      I’ll show myself out.

      At this point it’s obvious what the real problem is. It’s not just trump, it’s the rich and powerful that are attached to the GOP along with the GOP itself that are in those files. It’s the death of the Republican party as they see it, the death of their money and power as they are exposed, the death of their fascist movement as the house of cards tumbles.

      The pressure needs to continue.

      If only Mike Johnson had an accoutabilabuddy for not defending pedos the way he has his son as his accoutabilabuddy for not watching porn.

      Serious question. What happens if she just shows up and starts working?

      What’s the point of elections if you don’t have to swear them in

      Can’t she just get a federal judge to do it?

      If not she needs to sue and do one of those emergency Supreme Court petitions immediately

      How’s that lawsuit coming along for the Arizonans currently denied representation? All federal taxes are waived for now, right? No taxation without representation

      Why are no conservatives chiming in. Ffs this is beyond wrong. Mike Johnson is as evil as they come.

      Refusing to swear in Grijalva to avoid the Epstein vote is willful obstruction of Congress.

      It’s a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1505. A conviction under that statute carries up to 5 years in prison.

      Eventually someone’s going to make the Mike Johnson Act so that there can be an emergency session to swear in representation for people that won their districts against an incompetent or malicious house speaker

      Is it really dependent on this archaic practice of swearing in? Can’t she just start the work based on the fact that she was duly elected? If she must, why can’t the parliamentarian or a federal judge swear her in?

      Although the Speaker traditionally swears in Representatives, it is not required. Any judge, justice or the peace, or notary public is authorized to do it.

      The “swearing in” of duly elected members of The House of Representatives should not be required. The voters of that district elected that person and they have a duty to represent their constituents. That seat is theirs whether the Speaker likes it or not.

      The Republican precedent is that the law is just a suggestion anyway, so swearing in doesn’t seem very important to me. She can get to work

    28. Glum-Breadfruit-6421 on

      Nice democracy you have … whole thing is based on the honor system evidently. Laws are just recommendations by the looks of it. Nothing to see here.

    32. SilentJ87 on

      When the Republicans finally face legal repercussions for all this, I cannot wait for this smug pieces of shit to have to answer for the things he’s done or hasn’t done.

    33. Deceptiv_poops on

      This is a direct denial of representation to the people of Arizona. Arizona needs to exercise its rights and activate the national guard to march on Washington and force the confirmation.

    34. erkose on

      Grijalva’s constituents should sue Johnson for denying them representation.

    35. HuTaosTwinTails on

      Get used to it. They will refuse to swear people in if there are midterms, they’ll refuse to certify election results, etc. Maga and Republicans are going to do whatever it takes to stay in power and seize complete control.

    37. Elon_is_a_Nazi on

      Why are we negotiating with confirmed nazi, pedophile supporters and domestic terrorists?? Why arent these treasonous terrorists in a federal prison right now???

    38. Littlepriapus on

      Hey guys, non American here. How does this „refuse to swear an elected person in“ work? Someone can really just decide that, or is this very irregular?
