Arizona Sues U.S. House Over Speaker Johnson's Refusal to Swear In Rep. Elect Grijalva - Democracy Docket

It's a foolish political stunt without real legal basis.
The design of the US government is emphatic that the two chambers of the legislature can set their own rules and even judge membership, so states don't have any grounds for imposing on the federal government like this.
Currently the House has decided to wait on the Senate to stop blocking the government funding legislation, which is strategically reasonable, so there's nothing lost in the representative not being sworn in. The House isn't conducting normal business anyway.
Johnson has said that the swearing-in will happen once the House returns to normal business, so there's really no rush.
If Senate Democrats stop obstructing the legislation things will get back to normal.
