Oh, what a tangle web we weave when first he practice to deceive. You would think that old Bill Shakespeare lived in Chicago when he wrote those lines. Defying everyone, embattled Governor Blagojevich announced the appointment of former State Attorney General Roland Burris to fill the vacancy of Obama’s US Senate Seat:
Fox News: Blagojevich Reportedly Picks Replacement for Obama’s Senate Seat
What a way to end 2008! This is just another example of “Chicago, machine-style politics;” a style of politics that the mainstream media did not want to report on during Senator Obama’s run for the White House.
The facts are simple. The Illinois legislators (overwhelming Democrat) failed to act when they had the chance( approving a special election); mostly in fear that the Democrats would lose a special election. In lieu of any other law, the Governor of the State of Illinois has the legal authority to appoint Obama’s successor. There is legal precedence (Powell Vs. McCormick) for Blagojevich actions, and any posturing by people such as Senator Reid, will most likely make the matter worse. Mr. Roland Burris is as qualified as any other candidate to fill Obama’s seat. All concerned would be wise to let the appointment of Burris stand, and focus on removing Blagojevich.
