If Burris would later get appointed by someone else, or would win an election, then go right ahead and put him in, but thru Blago, he should never be allowed on the floor.
Also, the only reason Reid said that it's on Jesse White, sec of IL, is that they brought up the race card with him when they didn't seat him.... that way Reid doesn't end up on Jesse Jackson's racist list and puts it on a black guy, so they can't use the race card with White. White's signature on it means that he, on behalf of IL doesn't endorse him. Means nothing to whether they seat Burris or not, which is totally up to the leaders of the house of congress he'd be in.
