Just for the record, Thurgood Marshall wasn't the only SG to become a Justice. There's Chief Justice Taft, Justice Reed and Justice Jackson, just off the top of my head. Though I think Kagan shouldn't hold her breath waitng for the call. I think Sonia Sotomeyer will be the first pick. (And I hope Seth Waxman, another former SG will be chosen at some point during the Obama years.)

Blogojevich probably shouldn't have picked someone for the Senate seat, but he is the governor and has the power to do so. No one is suggesting that there is any impropriety on the part of Burris. Elie, you should chill out. The Democrats can't and shouldn't violate the law in order to keep a man of unblemished reputation from sitting in the Senate. Even if he was appointed by Blogojevich. It has nothing to do with pressure. It has to do with law, something I would expect the editor of this site to know something about.

Am I the only who is troubled that they have security cameras trained on the bathroom. (Inside or outside?)
