Roland Burris, Blago's Senate pick to fill Obama's seat, should be seated, just like Mr. Burris has been saying all along. I'm not saying this situation is simple and obvious, though it is. I am saying that if we are to be a nation of laws, and not special privileges for special people, then he needs to be seated. Blago followed the law, even if he is afoul of it now or in the near future, and the Illinois Sec. of State did a stupid thing not signing the certificate. I say seat Burris.
