Should Burris appear in Washington without that certification, armed police officers stand ready to bar him from the Senate floor, said a Democratic official briefed on Senate leaders' plans.George Wallace was a democrat when he barred blacks from entering a public building too, wasn't he?
As much as I don't like Burris, I'd urge him to defy them. After all, Blago hasn't been convicted, and he's actually within the legitimate scope of his powers to make this appointment...
Can you imagine the urban reaction if Burris got arrested for resisting the "Only Ones"?
Shattered hope can bring about some pretty terrible change...
