Governors Should Demand That Harry Reid Respect the Constitution

The last time I checked, we had a Constitution that governed the election and appointment of Senators. America’s governors should demand that Harry Reid comply with it. When it comes to Governor Rod Blagojevich’s appointment of Roland Burris to the Senate, the Constitution requires Reid to comply with that decision and seat Burris. Frankly, anything short of honoring Illinois’s decision should create a constitutional crisis.

[ah, but our courts have repeatedly set the example that our constitution is little more than a guideline...]

[btw: we don't need no stinkin govnrs:
