A legal scholar and former member of the Federal Election Commission is questioning the constitutionality of Senate Democrats’ plan to block Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s appointment of former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to fill Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat.
Senate Democrats, with the backing of president-elect Barack Obama, have staked out their ground and declared that they will not seat anyone appointed by the scandal-ridden Illinois governor, who was arrested last month after allegedly trying to “sell” the vacated Senate seat in exchange for campaign contributions.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal by spouting such things, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commentators reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
