3/5 of a Senator**
performance art
Don’t worry, RolandRolandRoland—Denny’s will seat ya.*
The secretary of the U.S. Senate on Monday rejected the certificate of appointment for Roland Burris ...because it does not conform with the Senate rule requiring that the secretary of state...must sign the certificate of appointment along with the governor.
And what about that, *snork*Senator*cough*?
Burris: “We know that under Illinois law and constitutional law that the secretary of state can in no way veto legal action of the governor,” Burris said. “So that signature is only perfunctory and ceremonial to put the seal on it for, you know, recording and filing purposes."
oooo… N00b doesn’t know Senate rules: FAIL one point.
Section 5 - Membership, Rules, Journals, Adjournment
Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members,...
ooooooch… N00b doesn’t know the Constitution: meh. par for the course.
"I’m not angry with anybody,” Burris said. “In fact, I’m enjoying this on behalf of the people of Illinois."
I’m sure the People of Illinois appreciate that. Like gravy. Gravy on the used dog food that is Ill politics.
...Burris said, “If I am turned away, my lawyers will take it from there, and we’ll see what happens."
At least he didn’t say, “My assocates will take it from there...”
Pass the buddah.
