Blacks Dispute Blagojevich Appointment
January 2nd, 2009While few Black leaders argue about the qualifications of former state Attorney General Roland Burris, who was appointed by scandalized Democratic Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to fill Barack Obama’s vacant U.S. Senate seat, there is wide disagreement over whether the governor should have been the one to make the appointment. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) is one lawmaker who vehemently called for an African American to replace Obama, so that Congress’ upper chamber would not lose its only Black senator. But everybody isn’t so sure that Blagojevich’s appointment should stand. “I understand Congressman Rush’s concern about having an African-American senator, but there are concerns about the cloud that has gone on regarding the current governor,” Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (R-N.Y.) told The Washington Post. “His qualifications are impeccable, his name has not been involved in scandal, but that has to be considered.” Karen A. Yarbrough, an Illinois state representative who represents a district just outside of Chicago, said: “I don’t think this governor should be appointing.” But National Urban League President Marc Morial questioned the power of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to stamp out the appointment, telling the Post that Reid’s authority in the matter is “very, very limited.”
