Court Rules Illinois Secretary of State Does Not Have to Sign Letter Appointing Burris to Senate

The Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that Secretary of State Jesse White does not need to acknowledge via his signature the letter Gov. Rod Blagojevich used to appoint Roland Burris to the represent the Land of Lincoln in the U.S. Senate.

Delivered by Justice Lloyd A. Karmeier, the ruling in Burris v. White appears to give Burris the “green light” to become the junior senator for Ilinois, replacing Barack Obama.  Only Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his colleagues in the Senate appear to stand in the way of Burris assuming the seat.

    Gov. Rod Blagojevich is just the tip of the iceberg with regard to Chicago Politics. I for one do not believe that we are anywhere near understanding the full level of corruption in Illinois. Anyone who thinks that someone like President elect Obama whom was basically born of “Chicago politics” is not himself corrupt or at minimum beholding and complicit to this pool of septics are themselves dillusional. The house that impeached him should also impeach themselves if they truly want to rid Chicago of corruption. It is obvious to me that what we are dealing with here is just a vindictive response to a maverick criminal who broke the packs code. He did not abide by the plan allowing for Obamas Pick of the litter. After all it must be made sure that the vacancy left by the “Holy One” is filled by only those worthy of his holiness and reverance. There is only one who could make such and enlightend choice and that would be the holy one himself… Obama
