Janet Reno? Pontooner, you need to get an appointment with your shrink, man. (Make me one too, while you're at it.)

True, Geo.
Under state law, the governor has the sole unfettered discretion to name Mr. Obama's replacement. Until he's impeached or resigns that hasn't changed. Unless the Senate can invoke some circumstantial privilege or rule, they can vote all they want but Blagojevich still has the authority.
You're right............The state senate is going to force the issue though. THE state supreme court can rule him unfit, or the Senate can call a special session (which they currently are planning on doing), and CHANGE the LAW. As it sits today..........the CROOK does, in fact have the authority to appoint someone.

BUT I don't believe any appointments would stand. NOT NOW.

Later,

Geo
