Scott Brown likely to be sworn in tomorrow

Via The Note:

ABC News’ Zachary B. Wolf reports: Republican Scott Brown, who changed the political landscape in Washington with his come-from-behind victory to secure the remainder of Ted Kennedy’s term, will likely be sworn in as a US Senator Thursday.

The official ceremony was originally slated for Feb. 11th, but Brown’s attorney today wrote to the Massachusetts governor asking for quicker work.

β€œWhile Senator-elect Brown had tentatively planned to be sworn into office on February 11, he has been advised that there are a number of votes scheduled prior to that date. For that reason, he wants certification to occur immediately,” writes Daniel Winslow.

Democrats in the Senate say they will swear him in if the paperwork is in order.

What’s unclear is what votes have been scheduled. Democrats broke a Republican filibuster on one nominee Tuesday, when they voted on party lines to proceed toward a vote on Patricia Smith to be solicitor general at the Department of Labor.

Can’t wait to see the pix and vid …
