Supreme Court ruled that a duly elected member cannot be denied their seat, meaning a judge could step in to administer the oath or order the House to allow it. In other words, once the government reopens, Johnson will no longer be able to act as the gatekeeper.

Except Maduro won't step down. He won't be overthrown like Assad, because he doesn't face an effective domestic military opposition. Tyrants don't step down. They simply entrench themselves deeper. Just as Trump will entrench himself deeper in tyranny as the pressure on him to stand down grows.
