29.  We have no right to "refuse " to seat anyone. Blagosevich is the leaglly elected Governor and
unless he is "removed" or found guilty of anything "we" do not have the right to reject his Senate appointment. "We" have the right to question and to speculate but he should be "presumed innocent until proven guilty" by anyone who has the ability to effect decisions and that includes the Senate.

What if Blagosevich is found innocent and Burris is tossed? What happens then? Who offers reparation to Burris under that scenario?
