what are you talking about. this post is about burris. not obamas decisions. and almost all of his decisions have been aplauded by 2/3 of americans. so huh?????

SO Buris will sue the Democrats if they don''''t seat him? Right or wrong, if the Democrats seat him they will have no respect for him, and thus who really cares what Boris does or says in the senate in the future, others will ignore him and treat him like dirt.

Once seated, they can''t ignore his votes.

hes 71 he doesnt care. this is his last chance to get into the senate. of course he took it.

If this were the Republicans, they would''ve seated anyone as long as they were Republican, no questions asked. To a Republican, as long as you tow the party line, you can do whatever else you want.

Ron Paul is a good example of this. He got azzraped by his own party because he''s a true conservative...not one of these biimbos like McCain/Palin.

If he was truly qualified he would have been smart enough NOT to take the appointment from a criminal governor. He should have waited for someone that was not tainted to make the decision. That he is still to stupid to realize this proves to me he should not be in the Senate.

txgrough your an idiot. would it be better if the democrats were caught up in scandals such as: Scooter Libby (exposing CIA), Larry Craig (doing his little under the stall leg kick action), Goerge Bush (liar - killing over 4K americans, Ted Stevens (pay to play), and the list goes on. Come on now there are scandals on both sides. And its not a democrat whose to blame for the current problems its Ronald R and his Reganomics. Hands off capitalism. Oh thats working well. As far a Burris goes - seat him. They have to its the law regardless of how right or wrong it is.

If the Senate wants to keep the circus atmosphere in their chamber they will seat the clown.
My objection is that he will collect a senators pay check not only undeserving but for life, retirement included and just what did he do to earn this? When so many Americans are out of work and suffering from job losses. The Senate must get their act going if they want credibility with the American people and the world view instead of clown manship.

Burris isn''t properly certified until the Secretary of State signs off and that hasn''t happened. If that is Illinois'' process, then the Senate should abide by it. Let Burris force the signature via the courts if he needs to, but the Senate should require fulfillment of State law prior to seating anyone. To fail to do so would be bad precedent.

This is the most important Senate position in the country being filled right now, since our president elect came from it. I think its fine that the Senate takes its time in deciding what to do!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Monday that Burris cannot take his seat because he "has not been certified by the state of Illinois." Additionally, Senate Democrats say Burris'' appointment is tainted because of the charges Blagojevich faces.

------------------

For the past two years the Republiscum have labeled Harry Reid as a mealy-mouthed idiot... today he proves them right.

Whatanass.

Curious to see Blago using the Race Card. Even more curious to see an otherwise well qualified candidate exploit Blago''s use of the Race Card. So goes 21st century politics.
