Feinstein, (D-CA) says, "Seat Burris."
Damn, Harry Reid, are you not getting the message yet? The law is on the side of Burris.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) broke with her party’s leadership Tuesday in calling for Roland Burris to be seated in the Senate once his paperwork is signed by the Illinois secretary of state.
Feinstein, a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, said that not allowing Burris to be seated could broadly undermine future gubernatorial appointments.
“I can’t imagine the secretary of state countermanding a gubernatorial appointment,” Feinstein said. “The question, really, is one in my view of law. And that is, does the governor have the power to make the appointment? And the answer is yes. Is the governor discredited? And the answer is yes.
“Does that affect his appointment power? And the answer is no until certain things happen.”
She added if Burris isn’t seated “it affects gubernatorial appointments all over the country.”
And on this note, as I am not a fan of Senator Feinstein, I AGREE. Seat the man and send the circus to another town.
