Congress Matters: Swear Burris and Franken in first
by SusanG

Kagro X goes out on a limb and has some fun with a parliamentary fantasy in which he suggests that Reid should try to seat Roland Burris and/or Al Franken first, before anyone else is sworn in. That way, if the Republicans filibuster, they're filibustering swearing everybody in. And then we only have a Senate of 64, wherein we "have" 38 votes and it takes 39 for cloture.

Go join the speculative fun!
