Dianne Feinstein does something good with her life for the first time ever

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17118.html

Feinstein, a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, said that not allowing Burris to be seated could broadly undermine future gubernatorial appointments.

“I can’t imagine the secretary of state countermanding a gubernatorial appointment,” Feinstein said. “The question, really, is one in my view of law. And that is, does the governor have the power to make the appointment? And the answer is yes. Is the governor discredited? And the answer is yes.

“Does that affect his appointment power? And the answer is no until certain things happen.”


Yeah if those appointments are made by Governors arrested for trying to sell Senate seats.

Suck it and shut up, Feinstein.

Meh. Just toss Burris to the side in 2010, nominate someone decent and problem solved. And show Blago the door (hopefully one leading to a federal prison cell) in the meantime too.
