Post by: formerlurker on January 06, 2009, 10:30:29 AM: Quote
UPDATE: After being told by the secretary of the Senate that his credentials were rejected and he would not be seated, Burris held a brief news conference outside the Capitol, saying he would consult with his attorneys.

"I am not seeking to have any kind of confrontation," Burris said.

His lawyer said the actions were illegal and he will consider options, including going to federal court.

The new Senate is to be sworn in at noon.[/quote
