Does anybody know since when a newly elected (whether stolen or not) US Senator gets to CHOOSE their own swearing-in date and the displacement of their predecessor Senator? I've never heard of such a thing. What am I missing here? Was that Senate seat Schiffty is taking already vacant or something?
If not, how would this Schiffty move be any different than POTUS-elect Trump just deciding unilaterally, "Hey, I'd like to be sworn in as the new President on such-and-such day, roughly 2 months before the Constitution dictates, and therefore the 'Bidens' need to pack their shit and get out of the White House before that day?
I guess they persuaded the person Newsom appointed to resign immediately and provide cover for him being sworn in early. Even so, he was elected for the term that starts on January 3, 2025, so how is he a legitimate Senator prior to that date?
Perhaps Newsom provided an “appointment “ for Schiff to fill the balance of Feinstein’s term?
Thanks so much for chiming in on this. Forgot about Feinstein's seat vacancy - maybe that's how they pulled off this bizarro early seating/insertion. Ugh - the thought of that monster being 'promoted' to the US Senate makes me so nauseated!

I don't get it. Could someone help me out?

Anything is possible in a state that takes three weeks to feed votes into machines.
Meanwhile in France and the UK they hand count twice as many votes in a matter of hours.
Yep, so disgusting!
