Senate leaders move toward seating Burris

It should make you appreciate Utah politics.
Or did the situation really change that much in one day ??? we all know the answer to that.
By the way, how much did Burris pay to sit his seat in Obama's chair anyway?
Please oh please let the democrats continue on with their holier-than-attitude and their corruption.
We have had to stomach the hatred they have shown towards Bush and his party for the last 8 years and the dems are showing that they are incapable of change.
And to think, it is only 13 more days before Obama gets in and to think of how much more there will be. This outa be fun!
>>>Sen. Reid has now accepted Mr. Burris's credentials.<<<
Whoa!!! Wait a minute. What has Dirty Harry to do with anything? I thought Vice President Dick Cheney was President of the Senate. And as such, has the final say in such matters. What's going on here?
Reid is in clear violation of the US Constitution (article 1.3.4) when acting in the capacity of a president. He needs to be called on it and perhaps impeached.
Inquiring minds would like to know why.
Fitzgerald was doubtless doing the U.S. a favor and saving the history of the first half-white pesident (not being racist at all - I'm just tired of hearing that Obama is the first black president - that is just not true - he is of mixed race). It's time for a little truth out of all Washington politicans, at least every once in a while.
Please finish reading your constitution. Don't stop at 1.3.4.
Try 1.5.1 "Each house shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members..."
Of course you remember that the Vice President has no vote unless the vote is tied, don't you?
Silly.
Most blacks in this country has some white ancestry. Should we always have them tell us what percentage white they are?
Most whites have Native American blood...or so they think.
Certifying elections, and returns doesn't apply in this case. he's being lawfully appointed by the Governor. No election there to certify.
Certifying qualifications has been interpreted to mean that he's a legal resident of the state in question and meets the age requirement to be a senator, something that Mr Burris has met.
It's better that way for the dems - it tends to perpetuate whining and defines the haves from the have nots.

Oh yeah, and the check finally cleared.
BTW- Mr. Burris's credentials are far more accomplished than Mr. Obama's.
