Burris turned away by the Senate
Roland Burris was turned away today by the senate. Burris was appointed to fill the vacant senate seat left by Barrack Obama. The kicker is that he was appointed by Governor Blagojevich who is under investigation for some "shady business". The Senate secretary claims that the appointment needs to be signed by the Illinois Secretary of State. It has not been signed which is why they wont seat him. If you were in the senate, would you vote to seat him and allow him to be sworn into office?

If the law requires the signature of the secretary of state then it doesn't matter what the rest of the senate feels.
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of the Senate I vote we return it's selection to the state legislatures and end this trend of straight democracy.
