Once they seat Burris, he falls under the Senate rules - and can be impeached. At least the "little people" in Illinois wouldn't be irritating the "important Senators".<BR/><BR/>Besides - has Obama actually left his seat open in the Senate yet? That would be one reason I could see to delay seating Burris.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789551681702149486.post-20127340849710203832009-01-07T17:26:00.000-06:002009-01-07T17:26:00.000-06:00Well, lets see: he's black, he's never held an hon...Well, lets see: he's black, he's never held an honest job in his life, and he's a Chicago politician. He's obviously qualified to be president. Senator? Maybe not.<BR/><BR/>The one difference between 0bama and Burris is that 0bama won (or stole) an election, and Burris didn't. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure whether Blagovich is still empowered to appoint anyone: that's a question for the Illinois courts. I am sure that Burris is under a terrible cloud of suspicion because Blago appointed him. No decent person would take the appointment on those terms. Of course, Burris is a Chicago politician, so he's no decent person. <BR/><BR/>If the senate seats Burris, they will be showing approval of Blago, they will be making a mockery of the integrity and dignity of the senate, and they will be encouraging us all to hold the entire Congress in the utmost contempt. How appropriate!<BR/><BR/>So, yes, Reid is spouting nonsense when he says not qualified. Unless, by not qualified, he means something like: ``Disqualified by reason of gross immorality.'' That would make Reid a terrible hypocrite, but better a hypocrite than a crook without the grace to be ashamed of his crimes.Ominous Cowherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04802991559947782419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789551681702149486.post-49765399088454775112009-01-07T01:19:00.000-06:002009-01-07T01:19:00.000-06:00no one in the senate is qualified if reid remains ...no one in the senate is qualified if reid remains the majority leader.irishdutchunclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509328626696267466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789551681702149486.post-26770139786323995332009-01-06T17:14:00.000-06:002009-01-06T17:14:00.000-06:00I believe the qualifications are to be a US citize...I believe the qualifications are to be a US citizen, a resident of x state and of a given age. That is it.<BR/><BR/>I concur whole heartedly. Why does Harry Reid think he is able to decide who can and can't be a senator? Yeah Blankovich(sp)is probably guilty as sin but he is the sitting governor and thus is in charge of making appointments.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.com
