    Shaun King Retweeted Elizabeth Warren

    This is important. Mitch McConnell, who my late grandmother in Kentucky despised, just announced that he is going to refuse to seat Doug Jones for a month, until after Republicans vote again on the tax plan. This is just plain wrong.https://twitter.com/elizabethforma/status/940797125348208641 …

    I call on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to listen to the people of Alabama and seat @GDouglasJones without any delay.

        it's unconstitutional. Jones has to be seated when his documents are presented. McConnel cant re-write the rules detailed in the Consitution.

        He already did it with Obama’s SCOTUS choice. Mitch is a walking Constitutional Crisis.

        Democrats did the same to Scott Brown after he won Mass. Don’t hate the players hate the game.

        Yeah yes. It’s not up to McConnell. Each state has their own rules and timelines, which if you’re in a red state (or opposite) they’re going to max that timeline.

        I was referring to your claim about Brown's seating being delayed (hence, the Politifact link I shared debunking that "talking point") not the fact that Jones won't seated until next year.

        I’ve said things based on misinformation too. It happens. Seems like we’d be grateful for the correction.

        That's why Franken can't resign. Mitch won't seat his successor.

        What Jones should do is show up at the Senate every single day and dare the capitol police to remove him. Sit in the lobby, on the steps, walk on to the Senate floor for votes, etc.
