Breaking: Blago To Fill Obama's Seat (Bumped and Updated) Reid's Office Says No Dice

Above the original post update: From the Politico via Hot Air (which has more on Burris):

Majority Leader Harry Reid views Burris as "unacceptable," the aide said.

I'm going to need some popcorn. Stat!

Original Post...

Chutzpah, defiance and the hair...that's the Blago we've come to know and loathe.

Gov. Blagojevich today is expected to name former state Comptroller and Attorney General Roland Burris to Illinois' vacant U.S. Senate seat, a knowledgeable source said this morning.
A news conference is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris, 71, had lobbied the governor for the position in recent weeks.

Here's Burris' law firm bio. He's obviously a party guy and my guess is everyone will say nice things about him, his unquestionable personal integrity and how he represents a choice everyone can agree on so no taint here, move along and we'll fight it out in two years. Cause that boys and girls is the Chicago way.

Below the fold is a letter Harry Reid and all the Democrats in the Senate sent few weeks back to Blago saying don't make an appointment.

We write to insist that you step down as Governor of Illinois and under no circumstance make an appointment to fill the vacant Illinois Senate seat. In light of your arrest yesterday on alleged federal corruption charges related to that Senate seat, any appointment by you would raise serious questions.
It is within the authority of the Illinois legislature to remove your power to make this appointment by providing for a special election. But a decision by you to resign or to step aside under Article V of the Illinois Constitution would be the most expeditious way for a new Senator to be chosen and seated in a manner that would earn the confidence of the people of Illinois and all Americans. We consider it imperative that a new senator be seated as soon as possible so that Illinois is fully represented in the Senate as the important work of the 111th Congress moves forward.
Please understand that should you decide to ignore the request of the Senate Democratic Caucus and make an appointment we would be forced to exercise our Constitutional authority under Article I, Section 5, to determine whether such a person should be seated.
We do not prejudge the outcome of the criminal charges against you or question your constitutional right to contest those charges. But for the good of the Senate and our nation, we implore you refrain from making an appointment to the Senate.

What are you going to now Harry?

1 So he's using the Clinton brazen it out approach then. Well, it worked before.

I wonder if the Senate has the stones to refuse to seat him.

2 Good one. Will Harry dare to not recognize a black appointee?

4 I'll say it again... if you're a democrat, TOUGH IT OUT. The odds are EXCELLENT that your evils and incompetence will eventually be blamed on Republicans.

I think the first example of this not happening was Kwame Kilpatrick in Detroit, no? And he had three years to fuss around.

5 The question then becomes, will the Senate seat him.

The answer is, of course. They have no shame.

I don't know Illinois politics... thank goodness. But how sympathetic is this Burriss guy, anyway? He's old, he's black, I assume he's been a party stalwart for years.

Is it going to be where Senate Dems will be faced with a type of situation where people say "C'mon, let the old guy be senator. Don't be a meanie. Don't take it away from him. He's been a team player for his whole life and this will fulfill a dream, etc., etc."

Incredulous - many of us keep using this word, but it does not mean what many of us think it means. It means "extremely skeptical", or the opposite of the word "credulous", which means "extremely gullible". Often confused with...

Incredible - literally, not being "credible" or believeable, but often used colloquially to mean "extreme" in some way, like "incredible chutpah". Which leads to...

Insufferable - like me, occasionally, but well-intentioned in not wanting to help the moonbats perpetuate the myth that we are illiterate.

A news report from 2002:

If elected this fall, Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Rod Blagojevich promises to appoint a diversified cabinet, but admitted the color of former challenger Roland Burris� skin hurt him.

In a rare candidate�s confession during an interview on V-103�s Cliff Kelley Show, Blagojevich admitted that it was the color of Roland Burris� skin �that hurt him� at the polls and promised if elected in November he would reach out to Burris for his knowledge and experience.

That knowledge might have come in handy a few years back.

Posted by: wiserbud at December 30, 2008 02:15 PM (IHbof)

72 So under what provision of the constitution can the Senate refuse to seat a Senator who has been legally appointed by a duly elected Governor who is still in office and has not been convicted of anything?

Article I, Section 5:

Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.

There are several cases where on house or the other has refused to seat the declared winner of an election, even going so far once as to compel a new election once (NH in the '70s I think).

No court will hear a challenge to whatever decision the Senate makes.

77 So, how will Democrats justify refusing the seat to Burriss?

How will they spin it to blacks?

If they refuse him, blacks will see something that Dems don't want them to see and something Blago does want them to see.

Nice move by Blago.

Posted by: eman at December 30, 2008 02:35 PM (A0fZ7)

78 No court will hear a challenge to whatever decision the Senate makes.

Actually I was wrong.

Adam Clayton Powell sued to get his seat and won.

The Powell case was one I was thinking of but I totally screwed up the result.

This is going to be a lot of fun.

Posted by: DrewM. at December 30, 2008 02:36 PM (hlYel)

79 What further makes it a nice move is that Obama endorsed Burris in the 2002 IL Democrat Gubernatorial Primary, against Blagojevich.

Posted by: Robert_Paulson at December 30, 2008 02:45 PM (Rmb4y)

Oh this is too fun. I still think Blago should've appointed Michelle Obama or Rhambo to the seat. Think of the head spinning.

Of course racist Reid will reject Buriss. But nothing stops Blago from appointing someone else. He hasn't even been indicted yet. So we could have a revolving door of appointments and rejections.

Posted by: Iblis at December 30, 2008 02:48 PM (ugydw)

81 DrewM: There are several cases where on house or the other has refused to seat the declared winner of an election, even going so far once as to compel a new election once (NH in the '70s I think).

But weren't those contested or very close elections? There is no election irregularity here. While there is a lot of hand wringing about Blagojevich, he still has legal standing as the governor of Illinois who is empowered to appoint a replacement Senator. And there's no taint on Burris, an upstanding black Democrat who is clearly qualified to be a U.S. Senator.

If the Illinois legislature is so hell bent on blocking Blagojevich, they should impeach and convict him and remove him from office.

But that would mean talking about things that they don't really want to talk about.

It's all very amusing, really.

Posted by: Shannon at December 30, 2008 03:03 PM (v4qA1)

86 WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democrats said Tuesday they would refuse to seat the man Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has picked to succeed President-elect Barack Obama, saying that the taint of scandal would follow the new senator to Washington.

"Anyone appointed by Gov. Blagojevich cannot be an effective representative of the people of Illinois and, as we have said, will not be seated by the Democratic Caucus," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and his deputy, Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, said in a statement.

Former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris told the Illinois Senate president early Tuesday of Blagojevich's decision to appoint him.

Senate leaders, scattered for the holidays, immediately convened a conference call to respond to what they saw as a sticky situation. Some involved in the call were wary of being seen as denying a black man a seat in a chamber where there are no blacks, according to two officials knowledgeable about the talks who requested anonymity in order to speak freely.

Looks like Blowjobevich has them in a corner.

Posted by: TheQuietMan at December 30, 2008 03:04 PM (1Jaio)

87 First, the idea in Adam Clayton Powell's case was that after he had been expelled from the House, with full knowledge of why he was expelled, his constituents re-elected him. Fundamentally, SCOTUS was saying, sure, you can expel him once for a reason, but the voters get the final choice.

As for Roland Burris, as a long-time resident of Illinois, I remember him all. He grew up in segregated (he wasn't allowed to swim in the city pool) Centralia, IL, a coal-mining community. He worked his way up the Illinois political ladder by being not the 'Magic Negro' but by being an early version of Steve Urkel without the annoying whining voice. That is, he was bright, non-threatening, eager, smiling, and so on. He ran well until he ran for governor in the Democratic primary in 1994. He went up against Richard ('Dick") Phelan and Dawn Clark Netsch.

Phelan ran as the lawyer who brought down Speaker of the House Jim Wright (I think). Netsch ran as the 'outsider' (she had been a member of a group of dissident Dems in the IL legislature called 'The Crazy Eight.')

Oddly enough, the election apparently turned on campaign commercials. I still have tapes of them, since I was a member of a group doing research on tv coverage of the election. Burris played a commercial that showed him striding down a set of steps towards a big, black limo trailed by two beefy white guys in overcoats who looked like members of the mob.

Phelan used a commercial that showed him firing an M-16 (I think -- full auto something anyway) at a range. He looked like he was picking a very angry rattlesnake.

Netsch had a commercial that showed her (she was about 70 and looked it) shooting pool in a local family tavern in Chicago somewhere. She lined up a tricky shot and made it. Camera caught it all. Then the camers panned up to her and caught her in one of the most genuine laugh and smiles I've ever seen on a politician. Wrapped up the election right there. The polls showed it almost immediately.

Anyhow, Burris had the luke-warm backing of the Machine, but whoever won would have been beaten by the sitting governor, Jim Edgar.

So, long story short, Burris is not terrible. He's not great, either. He never really won any state-wide race that wasn't pushed really hard by the Machine. He was chosen generally as an adequate black candidate who would prop up the rest of the ticket among black voters in Chicago. Like all politicians, he has both a big ego and an unwarranted belief in his own abilities.

Bring on the popcorn.

Oh, shit this is so much fun. The Dem's are going to screw a brother, and their biggest constituary? Think Jesse Jackson, jr and sr are going to like this? Rev Sharpton going to be showing up?

Blago is a fucking genius. You want to take me down? Take this assholes.

Chicago politics is not for the weak kneed.

93 I love the 'innocent until proven guilty' comment. No, that is at trial. Blago is not on trial yet, and impeachment is a political process, not a criminal or even a civil process. We and the IL legislature and the Democrats in the Senate are perfectably able to believe Blago is guilty if we wish. Tough nuggies, Blago.

Fantastic.

Does the Qualifications Clause empower the Senate to deny seating Burris?

As the Powell case demonstrates, the Senate's power of being the judge of qualifications is not wholly unreviewable or absolute. If the Senate had absolute authority in this way, then whoever was in the majority could simply arbitrarily refuse to recognize the qualifications of people in the minority elected or appointed.

In other words, if they could reject Burris simply because appointed by Blago, who undeniably has the legal authority to make the appointment, and because Blago is under investigation, then what would stop the Dem majority from refusing to seat a person merely because they were appointed by a Republican governor who was not under any cloud of suspicion?

The Qualifications Clause is not a tool of tyranny and despotism. As usual, Harry Reid is talking out of his ass, and what he is saying is the usual stuff that comes out of an ass.

97 Wonder what Bobby Rush is getting for this? Also, he sounds a little 'off'. I wonder if he's sick.

98 �I am a member of Congress, and I have access to the best medical care in the nation,� said Rush, 61, who continues to struggle with his speech since doctors removed a half-inch tumor near his jaw five months ago. �I can�t be satisfied until every American has access to the same kind of care.�

100 "Does the Qualifications Clause empower the Senate to deny seating Burris?"

Who cares? This is a multi-train wreck. Reid et al are screwed no matter what they do. It also upsets many, many ambitious IL politicians. It will outrage the anti-Blago Dems in IL.

Woo-hoo!

Posted by: JorgXMcKie at December 30, 2008 03:18 PM (iMgQD)

101 Bobby Rush...It's all about race. "Don't lynch" Burris".

Durbin and Reid just shit their pants.

They are going to have to seat Burris without a whimper.

Harry...you just got your ass pawned by Blago.

Posted by: DrewM. at December 30, 2008 03:18 PM (hlYel)

102 The eloquence of Bobby Rush is inspiring. I used to love watching him question Alan Greenspan. Blago just stuffed Burris up Harry Reid's ass.

104
So now Rep. Bobby Rush, former Black Panther, is going on about how Blagojevich has made a great choice, how Burris is the bees knees and is warning the U.S. Senate that they better not oppose the appointment of a black man to the Senate or he will go Black Panther on their asses. (I'm paraphrasing here).

106 I hate to say it, but Blagojevich is right. The IL Congress couldn't get their shit together and pass the legislation to hold a special election, so the governor is obligated to make an appointment. (Not that I would of minded having one less D in the Senate.)

Posted by: Robert_Paulson at December 30, 2008 03:24 PM (Rmb4y)

109 Between watching Blago self-consciously grin at his own rhetoric, Burris's declaration of "innocent until proven guilty" and Bobby Rush rhetorical raising of the black panther salute, I haven't been this entertained in ages.

I didn't see the press conference, but Bobby Rush is recovering from a very serious bout with a rare form of cancer, and just returned to work in late August, so he may still not be 100%.

Some of you may recall that Rush thrashed Obama soundly in their 2000 primary race for Congress. He more or less openly campaigned against Obama as not being black enough, casting him as the favored candidate of white liberal Hyde Parkers (sorry, no links, working from memory since Rush is my Congressmen and I do vaguely recall the 2000 contest), so basically this is all pretty interesting.

To throw some kindling on the bonfire I just called my Senators and Reid's office and said it is racist if they refuse to seat Burris and I will never vote (D) again if they don't. (Not that I would vote Dem unless under extreme circumstances anyway of course)

Good fun!

Posted by: SamIam at December 30, 2008 04:11 PM (jl7C/)

116 You know, even if Blago doesn't know where the bodies are buried in Nevada, what are the odds he knows somebody who does? Very good, very good indeed. Harry Reid is shoving his dick into the blender, and Blago is about to press "Puree".

Now *that* is funny stuff.

Blagojevich is my personal Christmas present from Barack Obama, given to me specially because he cares about me so much, but, like everything else from the Messiah, able to be given infinitely to everyone without diminishing the gift in any way. He just keeps getting better and better.

From the Chicago Scum Times:

In 2002, Burris became a lobbyist and has had a portfolio that has included Commonwealth Edison, Comcast and the state's funeral home industry. His lobbying firm � Burris & Lebed Consulting, of Chicago -- also has snared $294,545 in state contracts under Blagojevich since 2004, state records show.

He, his lobbying firm and his law firm � Burris Wright Slaughter & Tom � have contributed $20,296 in cash and services to Blagojevich's campaign fund since 2002. The most-recent contribution, $1,000, came last June. It was already widely known at the time that Blagojevich was a target of federal investigators.

I thought that Roland would have to pony up more money for that fucking senate seat.

Posted by: ed at December 30, 2008 05:19 PM (Urhve)

123 Btw, I learned a new word at the press conference. Bobby Rush referred to Blago as the "appointor". I gues an "appointor" is someone what appoints an appointee.
