U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said the Senate won't seat Roland Burris without the signature of Ill. Secretary of State Jesse White, the Associated Press reports. Durbin said this afternoon the Senate "must insist" on its rule requiring Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White to sign the
appointment documents submitted by Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

So now it's Durbin vs Illinois Supreme Court (who said that a signature wasn't needed).  :-)  :popcorn:
