"The Illinois Secretary of State is not empowered to block the governor’s appointment (that would make him superior to the governor.) His job is to “certify”, not approve, that is , to make sure the right steps were taken and that the governor acted within his authority."

No way will SOS Jesse White get away with not certifying. His only role is to affirm that Blago did, in fact, appoint Burris. Then again, the Constitution, US or Illinois, is not much respected by these people.

The dishonorable Rep. Cynthia McKinney was stopped because security couldn't remember her face.

Yeah, but that was illegal. She slapped the cop in the face and got away with it.

The widow from Missouri is Jeanne Carnahan, and she is no longer there. Jim Talent beat her in the special election in 2002. In 2006, Jim Talent lost to Claire McCaskill.

Paging all rat racists dead or alive to repel Buriss from the $inate Chambers!

Paging Bull Connor. Please bring your fire hoses and attack dogs to repel Burris from the $inate Chambers!

[Former MSM Viewer]

Yes, thank you...Carnahan’s husband died right before the election and the Dems stuffed her onto the ballot illegally.

As is typical, the Republicans rolled over and let it go - in a bipartisan spirit...
