Blagojevich-appointed junior United States senator for the state of Illinois was denied access to the Senate floor today by the Senate's secretary, because he lacked appropriate credentials. He had a certificate signed by Governor Rod Blagojevich, but not the state's secretary of state. Senate standing rules require that a new senator's certificate contain both signatures to be considered valid.
Mr. Burris has vowed to take this battle to the nation's "highest court."
I say good luck to him.
