He never backs up anything he says or does.

8. Well he should not have said anything. The appointment is legal.

Like it or not. The only people who could have stopped this is the Illinois legislature. They chose not to act expeditiously - they could have gone to Blagovitch and prevailed on him to consult with them on the appointment or to announce a special election.

11. I agree.

If you're just going to cave, then don't say anything.

12. Good, now, let's have a special election here in Illinois and get rid of him

ASAP. And before anyone responds, "Gasp! You want Kirk to win!" let me just say: whoever wins wins. At least it will be an expression of the people's will.

19. The laws of Illinois are an expression of the people's will too.

What is it about rule of law that people don't seem to understand?

15. Did the IL Sec'y of State finally sign off on the appointment?
