Johnson refuses to swear in Grijalva, brushes aside Democrats' legal threat -- for now

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Speaker Mike Johnson is brushing off escalating threats of legal action from Democrats if Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva is not sworn in during Friday afternoon’s House pro forma session.

“It’s a publicity stunt by a Democrat Attorney General in Arizona who sees a national moment and wants to call me out,” Johnson told reporters Friday of the state's AG, Kris Mayes. “She has nothing whatsoever to do with what's happening in Congress."

Mayes has threatened litigation against Johnson for delaying the swearing in of Grijalva, the Democrat who won the special election more than three weeks ago to succeed her late father, Raúl Grijalva.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his members are backing Mayes up, telling reporters at a press conference Friday morning that “all options are on the table” for seating Grijalva. "As the Arizona Attorney General has made clear, expect swift and decisive legal action” if the swearing-in does not take place Friday afternoon, Jeffries added.

Or calling in a non-partisan judge to swear her in?
