36. Maddowblog-With a certified victory in hand, Arizona's Grijalva demands to be seated on Capitol Hill

When it comes to seating the Democratic representative-elect, House Speaker Mike Johnson is running out of excuses — and facing a possible court fight.

The Arizona secretary of state’s office formally certified Grijalva’s election victory this week, and with this in mind, the Arizona Democrat is making fresh demands. The New York Times reported:

On Wednesday morning, a group of Arizona lawmakers gathered in front of the Capitol and accused Mr. Johnson of protecting pedophiles, obstructing the will of voters and taking an unprecedented political action in refusing to perform the simple ministerial duty of swearing in an elected member of Congress. ‘This delay is not procedural, it is intentional,’ said Ms. Grijalva. ... ‘He is doing everything in his power to shield this administration from accountability. That is not leadership, that is obstruction.’

.....Mayes, a Democrat, also warned Johnson that she’s prepared to take the matter to court if he continues to resist.....

That might seem like a compelling excuse, were it not for the fact that Johnson, earlier this year, swore in two Florida Republicans — Reps. Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine — when the House wasn’t formally in session, just one day after their respective special election victories.

All of which makes it that much easier to believe that the House speaker is principally concerned about the discharge petition on the Epstein files, his protestations notwithstanding.
