Re: Senate Dems May Seat Burris, But No Final Deal
So, the Senate Democrats unanimously sign a letter to Blago insisting that any appointment would be inappropriate and that they would not seat such an appointment.
Then Blago defies them, hyper-race baiters like Bobby Rush and others dare the Senate not to seat a black guy, and Burris goes to the Capitol on swearing in day... and ... the Democrats crumble with Feinstein now arguing that Burris should be seated. Pathetic. Just reinforces the long-held and long-true perception that Democrats have no political principles. They simply maneuver according to their own perception of how their behavior/actions will "look" to others. Gutless. |

Reid is a spineless bitch.

Re: Senate Dems May Seat Burris, But No Final Deal
Although I do not agree that Blago should be allowed to seat anyone, it is his duty as Governor. This could be good news for Republicans. The frustration of how Burris was seated could give a Republican a better chance of taking the seat in 2010.
There has only been one Illinois Republican in the United States Senate since the 60s though, so I do not have much hope for that. |

Re: Senate Dems May Seat Burris, But No Final Deal
I thought that it was found out that it would be unconstitutional for the Democrats to not seat Burris.

Re: Senate Dems May Seat Burris, But No Final Deal
I think Buress was a great pick, but was a little wary of the circumstances, it appears to be legal and he is the senator, so......good luck Mr. Buress.
