Harry Reid didn't cave - Franken didn't go to Washington to be sworn in
Advertisements [?]
Reid can't swear someone in if they aren't in Washington. Seems to me that Reid and Franken talked and agreed that they would not push the issue. The media said this means Reid "caved" to Republican pressure, but it seems that Franken didn't want to get sworn in that way.
