Maybe there was a side of Lincoln that Obama really does aspire to. Our Constitution is, like the dollar, a very thin piece of paper today. Reid doesn't have a honest argument but he does have a lawyer's. Pick a side and argue it with the best rhetoric you can muster. By today's standards, truth and law have nothing to do with it. But I admit that I don't understand this. I know too many liberals personally to understand that they're hypocritical when it comes to racism but, is that really the reason Reid would want to keep Burris out of the Senate ? He's got a lot of dirt in his past and why, at this point, would another Chicago politician bother any democrat?

The senators at that time arbitrarily decided to refuse to seat our senators, and nobody ever said anything. That situation had a certain racial element to it as well. Interesting how far we've come.

The office he formerly held is being filled and he has absolutely no opinion on his successor or on how it's being filled? Come on now Barry, take a stance on something for crying out loud..!!

How can even a powerwhore like Reid say something that brazen? Oh yeah, they have like a 95% incumbency in congress, which means they're about 5% accountable for whatever they do or say.

Remember, there's always room to negotiate. We have that on the authority of an 'old trial lawyer'. All he did is set the stage for the whole bogus affair to be excused because (they)..."We determine who sits in the Senate. And the House (of Representatives) determines who sits in the House. So there’s clearly legal authority for us to do whatever we want to do. This goes back for generations."

I wonder why the typical race-provocateurs are not all over this? If Reid blocks Burris I expect a back-lash, and rightfully so - it is a legal appointment - like it or not. Blago really put the hex on the Dems and I love it. Thanks Blago! This is so fun to watch – the Democrats launch accusations at Republicans constantly.
