How exactly was the Senate supposed to stop the Governor of Illinois from acting within his constitutional rights? Had he appointed someone dirty they could have acted but he didn't. All their talk ahead of time was posturing when in reality they had no power to stop Blago.
As for the phone call, I'm going to need a little more evidence than this guys word or some anonymous source. And really then the only thing I'd care about is if Obama truly said "I did not have phone contact with that senator, Harry Reid, never, ever" when he had just been in phone contact with him. I could care less if he wants this guy seated since there is nothing that can be done to prevent him from being seated and the longer it drags on the longer rightwingers are going to be writing articles like that one.
