Title: SCOTUS to Burris: "Pack your bags -- you're S.O.L."

High Court Denies Burris Request to Stop Special Election (http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/09/high-court-denies-burris-request-to-stop-election.html)

Quote
The U.S. Supreme Court says it won't stop a special election for President Barack Obama's old Senate seat that leaves out the current senator, Roland Burris.

Burris earlier this month asked the high court to block plans for a special Senate election that would exclude him.

The election will decide who serves out the final two months of the term that began when Obama entered the Senate in 2005.

Burris argued that the federal courts overstepped their authority by declaring that the candidates would be the same people running for the new Senate term.

It meant that Burris, who's not seeking another term, couldn't run. He'd leave office soon after Nov. 2nd instead of serving until January.

The Supreme Court refused to intervene.

I have to confess that I don't really a give shit about this at all, except to say that I think Burris is an opportunistic little turd who gleefully sold his soul for a shot at liberal greatness.

Considering the little stunt he's trying to pull with the defense bill, I'm even happier to see that he's soon to find himself back out on his ass, sans Senate prestige and largess.

"liberal greatness"  Now there is the very essence of an oxymoron.

No..........November and December of this year.  Who ever is elected would start their career right after be declared the winner

Well, it's not so bad, Roland. After all, you've got your mausoleum now emblazoned with your cheap title of "Senator".

It's what you sold your soul for. Remember?

You'll go back to Chicago and write your worthless "memoirs" that nobody but you and your "family" give two shits about. You'll then fade into obscurity and when it's your time to go, you'll go out in real style. A funeral fit for a king senator.

Asshat.
