After watching my usual church activity this morning on TV (physical problem militates against attendance), I surfed to a CBS interview of Senator Durbin, who categorically made it clear that Moore has no business in the Senate or that he be dealt with if he makes it. This reminded me of his role in January 2009, when he, Democrat Majority Leader Reid, and President Obama made it clear that the Constitutionally-mandated appointee for Obama's vacated Senate seat would not be allowed by them to take that seat. Burris, the appointee (and no beauty), was locked out of even observing Senate proceedings (don't know about the bathrooms) and had to go to court for redress of his grievance. The court, predictably noting the law, buried Durbin, Reid and Obama, as well as Illinois officialdom, and Burris took the seat, leaving the worthy solons to eat crow and stew in their own juices. They attempted a corruption so profound (all of them lawyers) as to defy belief. Anyone doubting that this happened is welcome to look it up. I did a couple of blogs at the time on the subject: ; . Durbin became famous, also, for comparing U.S. GIs in the Middle East to the “warriors” in Pol Pot's killing-fields, Stalin's butchers of the Gulags, and, of course, Hitler's bloodthirsty SS troops.
