Bring on Senator Burris
Bob Krumm writes:
Roland Burris is constitutionally qualified to be a U.S. Senator, and absent evidence of a quid pro quo appointment, his appointment is lawful. Sadly, it appears that this appointment may be the only lawful thing Governor Blagojevich has done during his term of office.
There real question about Burris is at least as important as the lawfulness of his appointment: what kind of man would want to be appointed to the Senate by Blagojevich now? Oh yes – a man who wants to add a crowning accomplishment to the list he’s had chiseled in granite on his mausoleum. And this is why the Senate Democrats want to bar Burris - because he’d be damaging to them, and not because they care about the legality of his appointment.
