Burris has been one of the most mediocre politicians, and his decision to become a bedfellow with a
discredited governor fighting impeachment says it all. But the U.S. Constitution, Amendment XVII mandates that the Illinois legislature “must empower” the governor to fill a U.S. senate seat vacancy. A standing provision in the Illinois Statutes shall not apply on this appointment because
the governor was arrested for trying to sell that appointment and he is awaiting an indictment.

The U.S. senate committee that would screen Blagojevich's appointment shall demand that the governor submit an Illinois Legislature “empower authorization” writ of consent to fill the seat due to the ongoing impeachment proceedings, and the upcoming trial of the governor on corruption charges.
It may be a technicality, but the U.S. senate can apply the requirement due to the extenuating circumstances, and the sudden Roland Burris appointment that is suspect at best. I don't think that the U.S. senate shall allow a discredited and hounded governor to outwit them.
