Classy last act Roland. No one is going to seat you and you just enabled one desperate asshole to get some attention.
I mean everyone thought no one in Illinois would ever accept such an appointment–other than those of us who know Illinois politics.

Before we get too excited about this let us examine the situation. Secretary of State White says he will not certify the appointment. What is his legal authority to do so? The U.S. Senate says they will not honor the appointment. What is their legal authority to decline to do so?
The lawless Governor performs a lawful act and is met by two lawless responses.

I am starting to feel like Howard Beale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
