Kennedy or Burris? If I had to choose only one, I'd go with Burris!


Caroline Kennedy -- US Senator?


Roland Burris -- US Senator?


Others in the legal profession seem to take the same view that I do of the right of the Senate not to seat Roland Burris: Under the 1969 Supreme Court case of Powell v. McCormack, the Senate has no right at all to do that. There is no evidence that Burris accepted ANYTHING other than the offer to accept or reject the nomination--and the fact that he is African-American and 71 years-old should not have a bearing on the Democrats' seeming to not want him to mix into their lily-white ranks. They accepted Barack (he was half white, after all), but seem bound and determined to block an eminently qualified man from joining their ranks.

The only word on his resume that causes him a problem seems to be the word: "Blagojevich"!!

On the other hand, in Seeking Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, Caroline Kennedy brings essentially no experience and a hurriedly written resume that is highlighted also by only one word: "Kennedy"!!

I fully agree with you about Burris, Joe and we really need someone that knows what they are doing, because we need someone that has the qualifications to do the job and we can,t just use their name only or we are in for big trouble and this world is in enough trouble as it is, already.
