After letting so many things slide by (warrantless wiretaps, 750 billion dollar financial institution bailout, and so on) it is interesting that the Congress chooses to make a stand in the case of Roland Burris [url]http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2009/01/burris_may_end_up_as_illinois.html[/url] To make a point "on principle" of not seating him based upon allegations against his nominator seems an odd choice to me. I think other issues of more substance would be a better use of the time of Congress.
