After all, the more important thing isn’t the state of Cynthia Lummis’s soul. It’s what pressures she’s facing and feels are significant enough that she needs to bow to. And this clip answers that question.

After all, the more important thing isn’t the state of Cynthia Lummis’s soul. It’s what pressures she’s facing and feels are significant enough that she needs to bow to. And this clip answers that question.
The fact that her reaction is almost certainly opportunistic makes this more, not less, significant.
GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

The traditions of the members-elect whose election is in question standing aside and not being sworn in while the election disputes are resolved.

Yes and also standing aside is a matter of tradition but is not required by general parliamentary law.

I think we need more judgey signals:
"Somehow disapproved only on other grounds in"
"Shade thrown in"
"See to believe"
"ill-considered accord"
"Somehow disapproved only on other grounds in"
"Shade thrown in"
"See to believe"
"ill-considered accord"
That's the same article in which I made up a new Bluebook signal ...
