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

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.

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.

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.
