Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Apparently, we can do an end run around Mike Johnson, who refuses to swear in recently (and duly) elected AZ Rep #AdelitaGrijalva. Use www.pleasegrowaspine.org to contact EVERYONE and demand that Grijalva be sworn into allow her to represent her constituents.

OK, so if the Speaker of the House refuses to swear in a new representative, the House can authorize another individual to administer the oath. On rare occasions, this has included another House member or a judge.
The process for swearing in new representatives
On the first day of a new Congress, the Speaker-elect is sworn in by the Dean of the House (the longest-serving member).
The Speaker then administers the oath to all other members, including delegates and the resident commissioner, at once.
Members elected in special elections or those absent on the first day can be sworn in at a later date.
Options if the Speaker refuses to act
Designated Representative: The House can pass a resolution to allow another person to administer the oath. This has occurred when a member was absent due to illness.
Court challenge: Some legal experts argue that a newly elected member could be sworn in by a notary public and then legally challenge the delay. The Supreme Court has previously ruled that Congress cannot exclude a duly elected representative who meets the constitutional requirements for holding office.
No other business can occur: Since the oath is required by the Constitution, a representative who has not been sworn in cannot legally perform their duties. The House cannot move forward with legislative business until its members are sworn in.

Time for everybody to start painting their own crosswalks. Make the state come and pave over them all. Cost that state MILLIONS to undo what the people want. THAT is resistance. When they remove a rainbow we paint another one right back over it and a second one down the street.
