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

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
