Quite so. The appointment is <span style="font-weight: bold">legal</span>.

Of all the fights the democrats could wage over the last 8 years, they chose to refuse seating the <span style="font-weight: bold">legally appointed </span> Senator from Illinois.

Duppy know who fi frighten! </div></div>

Yes, they can vote to expell a member if after an investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee makes such a recommendation. But this is a recent development. At the time of his swearing in, his appointment was legal, and Harry Reid was acting foolishly, even illegally, with his charade about not seating Burris, because Blago was under investigation and the Senators had signed some letter stating that they would not seat anyone the then governor has selected.

Now, in light of this development, plus the fact that he has shifted his story three different times, if he is found to be corrupt, they should kick him out.
