Ignoring threats from the U.S. Senate Democratic leadership to block his pick, Gov. Blagojevich this afternoon said he's appointing Roland Burris to President-elect Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat.
"The people of Illinois are entitled to have two U.S. Senators," said Blagojevich, whose arrest on corruption charges earlier this month places Burris' appointment under a cloud. "If I don't make this appointment then the people of Illinois will be deprived."
(Boy oh boy and you thought we couldn't get anymore exciting news at the end of this year. It looks like Gov. Blagojevich cares anything about the law and waiting for the process of the courts to take place. This man needs to be removed from office ASAP. This kind of reminds me of the things which happen when Clinton was our leader in regards to not following the courts. Read more on this issue Blago names Roland Burris to Obama's Senate seat..)
