In the 90s Burris kept an innocent man on death row. His deputy attorney general and the chief investigator resigned in protest. Rolando Cruz was finally released three yers later, after 11 years on death row.

I am surprised that the Hispanics are keeping quiet.

Excerpts from a report on fox news…

Roland Burris said he is consulting with attorneys to determine his next move after he was prevented from taking Barack Obama’s Senate seat Tuesday, but he maintained that he is the junior senator from Illinois.

U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., one of Burris’ top cheerleaders on Capitol Hill, accused the Senate leadership of racism Tuesday. Burris is black and if seated would be the only black member of the U.S. Senate, a distinction Obama once held.

“While they might not be termed racist, their action is racist,” Rush told FOX News. “I think that if Roland Burris hadn’t been an African American, then he would have been allowed to accept the appointment and become a senator.”

Many lawmakers have dismissed Rush’s warnings about race.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., vice chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said it is important to “extract race from the process.” . “With Barack Obama’s election, there can be no such thing as a ‘black’ seat,” Cleaver said.

End extract…

So there was a thing such as “black” seat earlier?

The US Senate MAY HAVE AN ISSUE/POINT….. If 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!

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…..

caleb and Izoneguy get on those Videos….I’ll have pics later…LOfrickin L

“I’m not going to make a scene,” Burris said. “I don’t want to give you all a circus.”

Too late Mr. Burris - you have bought the circus to DC and you are so desperate for attention and want so much to be the ringleader. Blago is laughing his head off back in Chicago. Blago knew what he was doing and has made you the pawn of your own party. The sooner you realize this the better.
I hope you have not carved on your headstone - Jr. Senator - Illinois 2009-2010.
