...state campaign finance records show. Burris' consulting company received about $290,000 in state contracts with the Illinois Department of Transportation...<<<
Burris obviously belongs in the US Senate - qualified by this experience alone.
...$90K of the $290K is in the freezer.

Do you think the Senate could refuse to certify one Barack Obama, in their capacity of determining the Constitutional eligiblity of a candidate to be President— that is, the individual MUST be a natural born citizen of the United States. The law requires this legal duty. Maybe Cheney can say -— wait a minute, I object. This would occur on Jan. 8th.

Until Blago is impeached, he has the authority, right?He can make the pick and no one is questioning his authority to do that. However, the Senate gets the last word on its members: "Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members" United States Constitution, Article I, Section 5. All they have to do is reject Burris's qualifications (namely, his appointment by Blagojevich). Once he is seated, the matter of removing him would become much more ticklish: "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two-thirds, expel a Member." USC, Article I Section 5.

Harry Reid has all but put a FACE on it - “ANYONE but a NEGRO”. And I'm pretty SURE that the OTHER U.S. Senator Richard “DICK” Durbin WOULD concur. Ain't that right DICK???

"This is not about Mr. Burris; it is about the integrity of a governor accused of attempting to sell this United States Senate seat," Spare me. Since when have RATS given a RAT's ass about another RAT's integrity.
