So many long-standing political rules have been broken. I rather suspect that if the senate leader wishes to avoid a vote, then he will. Just because. And no one will have standing to say otherwise. Take it to the Supreme Court if you want — they won’t lift a finger. Reid will do what he wants and get away with it.
To: Shellybenoit
but you got to hand it to the guy, he pulled a brilliant move today, especially if he wanted to tweak the nose of his critics. It's called "going for broke" and "mooning fellow crooks" at the same time.
Gosh, I just love the ol' adage "what goes around, comes around" and my tag line.

I was hoping he would do this so badly, and a black guy too, and governor pulled the race card on democrats in speech. This is fantastic, what is the messiah’s position? Get the cameras to his vacation spot.
This is Obama’s gays in military! THANK YOU!

^ Agree with ClearCase_guy
Reid sets the agenda. He never puts a vote on the agenda and simply ignores the pick. The democrats are BIG on not allowing up or down votes, remember?

Reid just thinks he is that important.
To: Shellybenoit
It is interesting all right... :-)

This is Race Baiting Blago . . .The reason Burris would be the ONLY black Senator is because Americans (with foreign donations) just elected the Only black Senator President.
Blago is looking for Diversionary cover. Forget Race Blago ...keep up boy !
Remember the STATE of Illinois ? Not the state of Chicago . . . South Chicago does not a State make. . .besides if Burris was any good he would be in Obama’s Clintonistas cabinet.

Reality check.....denying any vote at all on Burris will be just as bad, if not worse, than voting him down.
The Dems are soooooo screwed.

Not just "political rules" ~ we have the Constitution to think about. Article V......"and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate".
Illinois has the power to fill its vacant Senate seat, not Harry Reid. Besides, if wishes to toss a Senator out it has to be by a 2/3 majority vote.
Blag the Impaler has skewered Harry!

I get the impression that Burris was a big time contributor to Blogo’s election fund. Wonder where he got all of that money?

Blago has essentially forced the Dems statewide and in DC to hang themselves with their own PC rope.
"South Chicago does not a state make..." means nothing to me. All though there are obviously some good people in Ill., the fact remains that the power to elect a Senator like Obama comes mostly from the corrupt politics of Chicago. Let them choke on the sword of their own PC liberalism.

Oh, it's brilliant pal. If Dingy Harry and his fellow 'Rats allow Roland Burris to be seated, they validate Governor Blago's choice. If they refuse to seat Burris, they end up looking like the elite white racists that many black voters (voters who pulled the lever for Comrade 0bama) have always suspected they are.
This is a lose-lose for the Senate 'Rats, and Blago is enjoying the living Hell out of it, you can bet on that.

Unfortunately, laws mean nothing to Democrats unless they serve their purpose. All others are simply ignored and the burden of enforcing the law is shifted to the opposition. Reid will ignore the law on this issue. I guess Burris could show up and try to take a seat but he won’t have an office, he won’t have the creds necessary to even enter the chamber, etc. etc.
The left has effected a 40-year coup and their capstone achievement of installing a selected, illegitimate president will occur on January 20. After that, get ready to see Democrats ignoring laws and rules on a massive scale.

The Republicans in the senate should insist on voting for Blago’s guy (if for nothing else but the theatrical aspects.)
