Jones and Smith were just sworn in.

So much for those who predicted it would never happen.

The Senate was in recess when Alabama certified Jones' election, so it couldn't be done before today.

And until Franken's resignation became final, Smith couldn't be sworn in. His resignation was submitted yesterday and the first order of business of the new session that began at noon was to swear in Jones and Smith.
