Illinois is being denied representation
People are you paying attention to what Harry Reid is doing with his cronies in Washington D.C. Is being done is a power grab, anyone paying attention to this at all. In reality what is being done is a power grab and the denial of the CITIZENS of Illinois to be represented in the United States Senate.
The law is clear and has been clear all along. The appointment of Burris as Senator is legal and binding. Not only has the Illinois supreme court ruled so, but the 17TH amendment of the United States Constitution is clear on this. But does dingy Harry care? No he wants his cronies appointed. More boot licking followers who will blindly vote left on all bills presented.
This is what the liberals and mush brain youth of this country voted for. Do they realise what they have done? The liberals in Washington are power drunk on their own positions of election. They have forgotten why they are there. There is no representation or republic democracy in effect. What we have going on is a takeover and dictatorship by socialist and extremist who want to tell us how to live our lives and spend our money.
The era of indentured servitude is back with a vengeance. If Obama and these leftist get their ponzi scheme of a bailout(really noting more then more welfare and handouts) passed. We the American Citizen will become slaves to the government and its irresponsible policies and plans.
Wake up America and start immediate recalls on all of these wannabe dictators NOW!!!!!!
UPDATE:
The Illinois Supreme Court has ruling: Docket No. 107816.
Conclusion
Because the Secretary of State had no duty under section 5(1) of
the Secretary of State Act (15 ILCS 305/5(1) (West 2006)) to sign and
affix the state seal to the document issued by the Governor appointing
Roland Burris to the United States Senate, Petitioners are not entitled
to an order from this court requiring the Secretary to perform those
Acts. Under the Secretary of State Act, the Secretary’s sole
responsibility was to register the appointment (15 ILCS 305/5(2)
(West 2006)), which he did. No further action is required by the
Secretary of State or any other official to make the Governor’s
appointment of Roland Burris to the United States Senate valid under
Illinois law. Moreover, to the extent that additional proof of the
validity of the appointment is necessary, Illinois law provides a
mechanism for obtaining it without the need for judicial intervention.
For the foregoing reasons, petitioners’ request for issuance of a
writ of mandamus is denied. Mandate to issue forthwith.
Again the 17Th amendment of the United States Constitution says:
Amendment 17 - Senators Elected by Popular Vote. Ratified 4/8/1913. History
The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.
When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.
This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution.
But Harry Reid says that the rules and tradition of the U.S. Senate supersede both the Constitution and the State of Illinois.
Harry Reid needs to step down, resign his position as Senator IMMEDIATELY. This is an obvious attempt to set up both the Senate and Harry himself to be above the law of this country. Making up his own rules and regulations on a whim to suit his desires.
The call for Harry to GO must be heard.
GO HOME HARRY, GO HOME!!!! YOU'RE A DISGRACE!!!!!!!!
