WLS AM in Chicago is reporting that even though Republican Mark Kirk has been elected to the United States Senate, he won’t be seated in time for the beginning of the lame duck session.  There were three Senators who were elected to fill vacant seats in the Senate.  They were expected to take their seats in time for the lame duck session which will begin on November 15.  Well, oddly enough the two Democrats that won will be taking their seats immediately, but Illinois can’t get the paperwork done on Mark Kirk to get him to the Senate before December.  This is the kind of shenanigans that angered the voters in the first place.  This is what those of us who live in Massachusetts watched with the election of Scott Brown.  Even though he won the election, the Democrats tried to keep him out of the Senate for as long as possible.  It would be nice if the Democrats would seat people when they are supposed to be seated instead of being sore losers and playing games with the electoral process.  This makes me wonder what mischief the Democrats have planned for Congress in the last two weeks of November.
