The Republicans stonewalled and waited seven months to seat Senator Al Franken, so it's impossible to rule anything out. Since the Georgia elections look razor thin, your scenario seems frightfully believable. I haven't seen anyone else talking about this possibility, but they will be soon.
Yeah, I asked my Senate procedure friend about Franken. He said that election was so close, and there were legitimate challenges going on in the courts, so he felt that it was more reasonable in that case not to seat Franken -- even though, I remember at the time, we were all pretty ticked about it.
