Rolland Burris Should be Seated

Trust me I like clean government as much or more than anyone. Obviously, I don't condone Governor Blagojevich's actions. They may have him 'dead to rights' on the charge of corruption in attempting to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder but he is 'innocent until proven guilty.' He is still the current Governor of Illinois, at least for now, and therefore he still has the power and the right to appoint a successor.

Rolland Burris should be seated as any other duly appointed Senator. The seal and the signature on his certificate should be applied and he should occupy his seat immediately.
