Burris Shot Down by Senate Secretary! Will File Lawsuit?
Edited on Tue Jan-06-09 11:04 AM by Roberto1223
CIRCUS!! Blago-Burris Circus! Total chaos! Burris not backing down! Harry Reid says: Illinois Secretary of State did not sign certification, so Burris will not be allowed in Senate Floor!

1. This is SO nuts.
It's the result of the precedent set by
Bush, Cheney, Rove, and the Reeps...
do not acknowledge to the law or consider
yourself accountable to anyone.

2. He needs to sue the IL SoS to force him to certify the appointment, as he is required to do by law
The Senate is just following its rules and the Constitution.

3. Whoa! Calm down. You'll wear out your ! key.
"Total chaos" is a bit of an overstatement, dontcha think?
