Is Specter gonna get Franken seated?

Saw this on the front page of Kos...

Update by kos: Guys, check out the link. It's an important one. In short -- without a new organizing resolution, Specter uses up a Republican seat in every committee he sits on. Obviously, Republicans will want a new organizing resolution.

But what if Democrats balk until Franken is seated?

Ooh, now we have something to club Rethugs over the head with until they quit opposing democracy and give Franken the seat he was elected to serve in.

UPDATE: Second, more comprehensive Kos article:
