Pay Your Bills!
Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery is catching-on in Wingnuttia; or it could be that if you let a brat get away with something, all the other brats will try it, too:
GOP leaders in Pa. Senate will refuse to seat Democrat certified by state as winner
“…Republican leaders confirmed Sen. Jim Brewster of Allegheny County will not be permitted to take the oath of office Tuesday when the legislature returns to launch a new two-year session.”
Yes there is a lawsuit, there’s always a lawsuit, but the point is that Brewster won the election and it was certified.
UPDATE 1: the Philadelphia Inquirer reports:
“Amid high emotions and partisan fingerpointing, Republicans also took the rare step of removing the Democratic lieutenant governor, John Fetterman, from presiding over the session. They apparently did so because they did not believe Fetterman was following the rules and recognizing their legislative motions.”
Went to the comments, found a winner:

Oh fuck, this session of the PA lege is going to be (wait for it…) Lege-endary for it’s wingnuttiness. I awaite with horror what the Khemtrails Kelly Party is going to do (or try to do…their majority is still razor-thin) in AZ next session…
The Repuke legislatures across the country are going to be on fire to pass the wishlist of the magatariat.

They are the face of the “modern” GOP. “Democracy” has no meaning for them.
