“But, based on information and belief, then-Speaker Pelosi communicated with Dr. Letlow immediately after the election, and the swearing-in was scheduled at a time convenient to all parties,” a footnote states. “Ms. Grijalva would be pleased if Speaker Johnson contacted her to commit to a mutually agreeable time, as Speaker Pelosi did for Dr. Letlow.”

The lawsuit also attacks one of Johnson’s short-lived excuses for delaying the ceremony; he pointed to the delay in the swearing-in of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) by Rep. Julia Letlow (R-VA), which occurred about a month after her election. The lawsuit points out that Pelosi had contacted Letlow to find out her preferred date.

Lawsuit follows President Johnson’s “incoherent” reasoning for refusing to seat Grijalva. After initially saying he would swear in her “as soon as she wants,” he quickly said he would not do so until the House resumed session, linking that to the government shutdown.
