POLITICS: Senate Has Power to Block Blagojevich Appointment

January 5th, 2009

Burris

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Sunday that the U.S. Senate has the legal authority to block Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s appointment to replace Barack Obama. Blagojevich, who has been charged with trying to sell Obama’s now vacant Senate seat, defied the demands of Obama, Reid and other Democrats who asked him to forego naming a replacement because of the cloud that would hang over the selection. Speaking on “Meet The Press” Sunday, Reid said that the U.S. Constitution gives senators the power to “determine who sits in the Senate, and the House determines who sits in the House.

This is messy and Burris seems to be arrogant. And it is nothing but a distraction for Barack Obama…Burris sit down and let the political process take its course…..Also, to the black community stop making everything racial.

While i understand where you coming from Chris , you’ve got to understand that AA’s have been opressed, repressed, depressed and any other press, some can’t help but make it a race thing given our history in the united states. I just have to say i want the world too stop being so mean and hateful.



cameron Said on

Chris,

Stop tellin the black community what to do if you ain’t for us you against us. This ain’t you fight so stay out the battle.
