Blago's Pick Says He Doesn't Want Confrontation, Will Consult With Lawyers...

[AmericanMade1776]

HA!HA!

[Callahan]

Dems send Burris to the back of the bus

[Sudetenland]

Once more the Democrat Party Leadership demonstrates their contempt for the law.

If Burris tries that again, he should be arrested.

[TomGuy]

Burris may turn the table on Reid and claim racism. [Hey, it worked for Obama, in the primaries and in the general.]

Burris could raise that stink, since, if seated, he would be the only black senator in the current Senate.

Burris, if he chooses, would really embarrass Reid and Co.

[RichardW]

The Democrats are fools. Burris absolutely should be seated. There is no constitutional reason to refuse to seat him. Reid is an imbecile.

[Always Right]

The George Wallace dems....

[Puppage]

[Humal]

This may backfire on Reid. If/When Burris is seated, he could be so angry at Reid, he votes against Reid and the Democrats. Wouldn’t that be nice?

[TomGuy]

Burris was appointed by a sitting Governor.

Like it or not, IL Governor is still the legal chief exec of that state. Thus, he has every legal right to fill the empty Senate seat according to Federal and Illinois law.

At the time of the appointment, the Governor was still the governor.

When this hits the US Supreme Court, they will side with the Governor.

it worked for OJ, also.

[Batman11]

Reporter: Mr. Burris what do think about your attempt to take your senate seat being axed.

Mr. Burris: I don’t know about that, but you can axe me anything you want.

[Red Badger]

Reid and the Senate Democrats must be the biggest set o f imbeciles since the Howard Brothers.............

[albie]

Reid...”and be sure he only drinks from the ‘colored’s only’ water fountain”.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

It sure is fun watching the dhims implode.

[ClearBlueSky]

” Well, damn! I don’t understand this. I have my receipt for
this office right here, signed by the Governor and everything! Racists!”

[Sudetenland]

Sorry. Blago is still the legitimate governor of Illinois, de facto and de jure. By law he is entitled to select whomever he chooses and the state law says the Illinois Secretary of State SHALL afix his seal. Which means that the Illinois Secretary of State in currently in violation of the law and could be arrested.

Burris is the legitimate junior senator from Illinois by law.

Harry Reid and his fellow Democrat thugs are in violation of the Constitution and the law...not that they care.

[DogBarkTree]

[bigbob]

It’s said in Illinois that if Blago had only funded public transportation he’d have a bus to throw Burris under...

[MplsSteve]

You are exactly correct!

The appointment of Burris to be US Senator is completely within the law and is free of any ethical stain.

Governor Blagojevich, though a pain in the ass he is, has every right to make this appointment and Sec of State Jesse White and Harry Reid have no business or right blocking him from taking office.

Harry Reid must view himself to be high nobility for the way he runs the Senate. When I watch Reid in action, I’m reminded of the Latin phrase “Sic semper tyrannis” - Thus always to tyrants.

[TheCipher]

Where y'all think you goin ?

[GoldMan]

[AmericanMade1776]

“my credentials are not in order and will not be accepted.”
Burris... What Burris really meant. “ I knew that my credentials were not in order , but I thought I would just push my way in anyway, even though it is illegal, and I am an Attorney General who is suppose to uphold the law, I feel I am above the law, and I will laugh in the face of justice, and the rules.”

[Grampa Dave]

This treatment of Burris is beyond the back of the bus.

This is an urgent SOS from the white racist Harry Reid: Paging all white rat racists dead or alive to repel Burris from the $inate Chambers!

Reid, aka, Governor Wallace, to Bull Connor: Bull, please bring your fire hoses and attack dogs to repel Burris from the $inate Chambers!

No $inate $eat for you, Burris!

GO HOME BURRIS. YOU ARE TRE$PA$$ING! GET OUT OF MY LILLY WHITE $INATE!

[massgopguy]

Ku Klux Harry Reid said that they, the Senate majority, chooses who gets in. So he just disenfranchised every state in the union.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

If the law sees fit.
The man must sit!

[Roccus]

Sgt. at Arms; “We are sorry, but due to our limited facilities, we are unable to seat Mr. Burris.”

[Obushma]

Yeah, why don’t they auction off all their seats on ebay. At basement bargain prices.

[The Louiswu]

I cannot imagine the uproar if a white Republican had denied a Senate seat to a Black Democrat...but I am sure the alphabet media will cover this closely tonight...

[Grampa Dave]

The silence from the so called Black Leaders, Je$$ie HyJack$on, Al $harpton, Louis Farrakhan and other so called Black leaders is deafening.

[antiRepublicrat]

Burris absolutely should be seated. There is no constitutional reason to refuse to seat him.

The Constitution does say the Senate is the judge of the elections. By reasonable extention that would include appointments, as both are the methods by which one becomes a senator. I think they can judge the appointment to be corrupt and void it.

[novemberslady]

Who do harry & company want?
Burris isn't their pick?

[The Louiswu]

But why should they void this appointment. The person in question is well qualified to sit in the seat and the appointing Gov. has not been indicted of any crime.

[bestintxas]

Those are so-called Black leaders.

The one with power, Obama has already said he will diss Burris.

[sinanju]

Unfortunately for the old-guard Black “Leaders” they can no longer tell “their people” how to think. They’re sitting this one out, their dem massas own them, after all.

The Black public however, can make up their own minds.

[Neverforget01]

The appointment isn't corrupt simply because the one doing the appointing might be corrupt. That is absurd. No one has been found guilty of anything. As sitting governor of IL , Blago can legally appoint anyone he chooses.

[Sudetenland]

Marbury v. Madison 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803)

[Liz]

"That hairy screwball, Blago. Daley's boys better get ready to lock and load."

[Poison Pill]

The silence from the so called Black Leaders, Je$$ie HyJack$on, Al $harpton, Louis Farrakhan and other so called Black leaders is deafening.

Bobby Rush piped up FWIW.

[A. Patriot]

"Oh, we're sorry Mr. Burris, but we removed the 'Colored Section' in the Senate chamber back in the 1960's, therefore, there is not place for you to sit".

The Democrats show their true colors in the new millenium. The more that changes, the more stays the same.

Personally, I believe under the circumstances that he should be seated.

[Grampa Dave]

Bobby did pipe up.

However, my wife who grew up in Illinois and some of her SIL’s who still live in Illinois, knew nothing about Bobby.

They do know who Jackson, Sharpton and Farrakhan are.

[Grampa Dave]

Lord Obama, the righteous Zer0 is an Oreo, not an African American with ancestors who were slaves.

[massgopguy]

Even if the 17th Amendment did not trump section 5 of Article 1, the whole Senate did not vote on Burris.

[Grampa Dave]

“the old-guard Black “Leaders” they can no longer tell “their people” how to think. They’re sitting this one out, their dem massas own them, after all.”

You nailed it. These so called Black Leaders are the modern day Overseers, paid and controlled by the elite Rat racists, the Democrats. The DemocRat masters have told these overseers to stfu in this situation.

[elpadre]

“...Burris, if he chooses, would really embarrass Reid and Co. “

Gov. Brago is the one who can do the most damage to Congress and Obama administration. But will he????

[Poison Pill]

However, my wife who grew up in Illinois and some of her SIL’s who still live in Illinois, knew nothing about Bobby.

Well in this case ignorance is bliss.

[AmericanMade1776]

I guess I am out of the loop, didn’t know Burris was being refused because of his race, but because he was appointed by a corrupt Gov, who was told not to appoint anyone, because he tried to auction off the senate seat to the highest bidder.

[maxter]

"Once more the Democrat Party Leadership demonstrates their contempt for the law."

And this Democrat demonstrates how to win against them. Burris is fighting for it and will win. Our Republicans give up about half way through which is why they continually lose. They should take notice.

[Grampa Dave]

Yep you are out of the loop.

Catch the retired judge on Fox News for the minimal amount of certification actually required. Basically if the replacement senator is alive, old enough and from Illinois, that meets the certification.

Blago may be the worse governor since Bill Clintoon, but he has not been convicted of any crimes nor impeached. He is still the elected governor of Illinois.

[PeterPrinciple]
