This is still a STATE MATTER for Illinois….. The US Senate (Harry Reid) DOES HAVE AN ISSUE/POINT….. The Secretary of State of the State of Illinois has not yet “certified” the appointment, then this is still an issue of the State of IL! This is NOT the same as Adam Clayton Powell SCOTUS case!!! (Much, much, much more on this in-depth at: Who BlahGo (IL-Gov) should appoint to US Senate NOW, and why they should accept? Plus, Special Election, Mike Ditka, Special Prosecutor, and more… [UPDATED JAN 6, 2009]

We have heard endlessly how the Democrats (the Madigan Liberal clique, of which Blago is not part) is opposing this pick (really, any Blago pick of course) and that the SOS of IL was/is on board with their UnConstitutional (IL Constitution and IL Law, let alone US Law/Constitution) attempts to prevent Burris from taking the seat….

We KNOW that Harry Reid does not give a darn about this as a State Right issue….. Reid, and the others, will be more than Happy to Welcome (well, happy it’s a Liberal/Democrat, not that it is this particular clown being) Al Franken to the US Senate …. the game will be CLEARLY up when/if they do indeed do so before the MN SOS certifies the Election…. Further, whether MN Dem’s push to have it certified before the REQUIRED 7 DAY PERIOD allowing Coleman to File Official Challenge (Contesting the Election)…..

All I am saying is that we be clear in this issue, that Reid may be denying him PROPERLY if the State of IL has not got its act together. Burris can/will/should File suit against the IL SOS for not “certifying the appointment” as required by IL law…. The IL SOS (from my understanding) does NOT have any choice in this matter but to certify whether the “appointee” meets Constitutional and/or other IL legal requirements to be a US Senator (and Burris does) PERIOD. but until he is actually certified by the State of IL SOS his “credentials” are indeed NOT IN ORDER and he can/should be barred from the US Senate….

Again, we all know this is a shame, and the Franken admittance ASAP will expose that but we must keep our discussions/arguments to be Factual and Complete.

Don’t get me wrong… we certainly want to keep the issue in the fore-front…. These fools need to be continually called on this hypocrisy….

If further is wonderful that Bobby Rush is trying to portray this as “RACIST” or a “Racial” issue….. how hilarious…..

Plus, it’s a legit appointment, and he should be seated for that reason as well.

So very sorry Brian to not stay on message to the thread, but I just saw that news.
