She probably hopes that Bill Clinton is in the Epstein files, maybe other Dems as well. She may also be tired of Orange Julius Caesar getting more attention than she does.

about Trump told her not to run for the Senate. Another victim of...If they'll do it with you, they'll do it to you.

Marge and Massie have been on board for awhile now.

All who won't sign the discharge petition are Pedo Protectors. There is no difference between them and Johnson just because he is the Speaker and they are not. Any of them could sign it and end the pedo protecting.

The Rs most likely don’t want infor released, but also don’t want to be on record as pedo protectors. I look at this more as protecting the pedo protectors.As Wiz Imp and others have said, there are quite a few hurdles to get by before release of any files. Not the least of which is to pass full House vote. Senate next, then Trump. Veto, then back for a highly improbable veto override. There are probably some creative procedural ways to get at least some of the info sidestepping this process, but it would probably have to involve a legislative v executive branch battle in the judiciary.
I still believe it’s useful get the discharge petition signed and moved to the floor. The various reps final public vote could be useful for both political and moral reasons. Also as pressure mounts from various sides a pipe might burst somewhere. There’s either some very damning info in those files or this is a very useful distraction for the Rs. My biggest fear is a “final” release that’s been manipulated as to protect all of the powerful parties and the Rs just brand us as wasting their time. That we should have believed Bondi.

But because of that, Johnson has kept the House in basic "recess" for going on 7 weeks (only doing every 3-day gavel in/gavel out "Pro Forma" sessions, where they refuse to swear her in).

Well, all except... *checks notes, shakes head in bewilderment* MTG, Bobo, Mace, and Massie.

According to the Arizona AG's website they filed a lawsuit on October 21st. Why hasn't this been heard yet? A request to expedite this case should have happened already.
The courts can move quickly to ensure children starve to death but not to protect democracy.

We are in the upside down.

We are living in a distorted world because MOST cases, despite the promise of a "speedy trial", don't happen as quickly as has happened this year (and much of this year has not been the actual "cases" but requests for stays/TROs, etc. against some action).

There were a pile of lawsuits filed back in February when the early E.O.s went into effect, and some were thrown out right away, while others are only NOW being decided in a trial or just had a recent ruling.

But this is a little different. This is a duly elected Representative of Arizona that the Speaker of the House is refusing to seat that is doing significant harm to her constituents right to representation in Congress.

If there is any case that deserves to be moved to the front of the line it's this one.

per -

On top of all the others he's committed so far. The list is "YUGE!!!"

to stop a judge from swearing her in?

it's not so simple as "any" judge can swear her in. IIRC, it has to be a judge specifically appointed by the Speaker.

On second thought, never mind.
