All eyes were turned to Roland Burris this morning, as he walked over to the office of the Secretary of the Senate on Capitol Hill.But, as expected, Burris request to be seated was refused, and the Secretary of the Senate's reason was reportedly that his credentials were not in order.
Now the next step in this process is Senate Democrats referring his appointment to the Rules Committee and to determine whether or not the process of his appointment via indicted Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-IL) was tainted by the scandal in which Blagojevich allegedly tried to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat.
Either way, this is not going to be quick or painless. Harry Reid really has his work cut out for him dealing with this whole thing as carefully as possible.
