Senate Violates the Constitution in Turning Away Roland Burr


Rod Blagojevich may be a little bit crazy. If so, he's crazy like a fox. In appointing former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to fill Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat, it looks like he's outsmarted US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, the Illinois State Legislature, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. In turning away the Senate's only Constitutionally-designated African American Senator in front of a rainy Capitol, Harry Reid and his Senate colleagues violated the Constitution. As much as Reid and his allies would like this all to just go away, it is unlikely to be the end of the story.
