Yes, of course he should. He was lawfully appointed, despite what the Illinois SoS says. I hope the Supreme Court smacks down these bitches with the mighty pimp cane of the constitution.

Well that's the debate. Is the SoS co-signature just a ministerial duty required by law, or a fundamental part of the nomination. I say the former, and I think Marbury v. Madison backs me up here.

I think White would agree with you. I support the rule law; seat Burris.
