As of today the Illinois Secretary of State has not certified Burris. Thats the only way Harry Reid is going to bar Burris from the Senate. If Harry Reid goes the route of questioning Burris Senate requirements, he must do so for all Senators along with Burris. Burris should have met with Reid long before it got to this point. It wasn't wise of Burris to plead his case in the media and make the Senate Democrats look like a bunch of racist. Then again, you can't help but draw your own conclusions based on a all white Senate.

Roland Burris appears to have a little…

Megalomaniacal thing going on :)

Can you imagine if Sarah Palin had claimed that God told John McCain to pick her as his VP — the leftist media would have burst into flame!

That's when he denigrated Justice Thomas, and lauded Justice Scalia. Thomas' skin color is the only likely reason. It appears that the re-electability excuse is just that, an excuse, and Reid's covert racism is the real culprit.

Hairy Reid can't wait to seat a white, tax evading pornographer and block a black career politician. How funny can this be?

Hairy Reid can’t wait to seat a white, tax evading pornographer and block a black career politician.

Just yesterday he referred to the Senate as the last bastion of "plantation politics." Burris himself appeared at a black church yesterday surrounded by black ministers (apparently the separation of church and state doesn't apply to him) and claimed that God had placed his hand on Blagojevich and told him to pick Burris. That he was "ordained by God" for this seat. Can you imagine if Sarah Palin had claimed that God told John McCain to pick her as his VP -- the leftist media would have burst into flame! And lest we forget that it was Harry Reid who is apparently opposed to two black congressmen, the black Senate President in Illinois and now the former attorney general of Illinois becoming the U.S. Senator from Illinois. But he had no problem with Blago picking a white woman or a Thai-American woman. The race card is not being played by bloggers, it is being played by Burris and his supporters.

Maybe this debacle is all the fault of Bush! Yeah, that's it -see how that plays, Harry.

First governor Blogoyevich has the right to choose the replacement; so just because of that they don't have any authority to stop him. What about everybody is presume innocent until proven guilty. or Senator Reid like must of the congress believed that they can do anything they want. they are just a bunch of crooks. New salaries for the congress; Planes for Pelosi, pork projects, go to jail free cards, etc, etc. etc. and now we continue to add more crooks like Al Franken who manipulated and twisted the election process.
