Jesse is grandstanding. The Illinois Supreme Court will mandate he certifies the appointment. Burris will be Senator. It doesn't make me particularly happy. I've always disliked Blago, and I have very little respect for Burris, but the plain fact of the matter is Blago is still Governor, and the law states that only he can appoint a Senator. If the dems in Springfield really wanted to make a point, they would have changed the law so that a special election would decide. For political reasons (that are understandable) they decided not to go that route. Since they didn't, they (dems and repubs) should just STFU and let Burris in.
