Todays topic is about the govenor of illnois and his choice to fill the senate seat laft vacant by president elect obama.
First, Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois was overheard by prosecutors trying to auction off the United States Senate seat just vacated by President-elect Barack Obama (for cash or post-Statehouse employment). Now the not-so-good governor has taken his hubris to new heights and the misery of Illinois citizens to new lows.
Last tuesday, he broke his postarrest seclusion, arrogantly strutting forth to announce that he has chosen Roland Burris, a former Illinois attorney general, for the job.
Mr. Burris, a Democratic veteran who should know better, made the mistake of gratefully accepting � as if anything having to do with Mr. Blagojevich were not lethally tainted.
The Democratic leadership of the Senate instantly rejected the appointment. �It will ultimately not stand,� said Harry Reid, the majority leader. He made it clear that the issue was not Mr. Burris�s qualifications, but Gov. Blagojevich�s standing as a desperate ward heeler who�s lost all credibility.
�I�ve enjoyed the limelight I�ve had for the last couple of weeks,� crowed the governor who sounds ever more out of touch with reality.
The announcement amounted to another act in the op�ra bouffe that Mr. Blagojevich has reduced the Statehouse to in Illinois, where prosecutors have been indicting and convicting insiders in pay-for-play scandals.
The proceedings displayed the governor once again ducking any honest accounting to constituents. Mr. Burris sanctimoniously cited the presumption of innocence in criminal cases. More filibuster was employed when Representative Bobby Rush was called forth to lecture at length on the virtues of the governor and his nominee and the need to keep the Senate seat in African-American hands. Can Illinois bear any more of this?
Beyond the criminal case, the State Legislature should follow through with impeachment to force the governor out. With luck, the task will be speeded by this latest gambit.
Mr. Blagojevich shows every sign of feeding off the chaos he has created through his crass rantings about his appointment power. The many problems of Illinois cannot be addressed so long as Mr. Blagojevich remains governor. The state�s Senate seat cannot be filled fairly by such a discredited blowhard.
Even though The Seventeenth Amendment to the US Constitution created a provision which enables a state's governor, authorized by that state's legislature, to appoint a Senator in the event of a vacancy, until an election is held to fill the vacancy. Illinois law provides: �When a vacancy shall occur in the office of United States Senator from this state, the Governor shall make temporary appointment to fill such vacancy until the next election of representatives in Congress�� When reading the US Constitution together with the Illinois law, it appears that Governor Blagojevich�s authority to fill the Senate seat is absolute. So, by the u.s. senate refusing to allow Mr. Burris his rightful place in the senate chamber and seat him, this may have to goto court to get a ruling on the constitutional, and if so, it may be interpreted incorrectly. we shall see how this shenanagains plays out. as of this moment, the illnois govenor has not been impeached, he has not resigned, he was charged with a crime in federal court, but, people FORGET that YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!!! the govenor has full authority to appoint someone to the senate seat, and the senate MUST OBEY the Constitution!
what say ye? comment linkage at the end of this blather, speak now or forget about it!!! hava swell funday monday folks!! and yes, ill shut off the cell fone when im at the mission!! hehehe!!!
