Mr. Burris Is Coming To Washington

Roland Burris heads to Washington today, hoping to be sworn in tomorrow as the newest Senator from Illinois. He'll do it without a certificate of election signed by the Illinois Secretary of State, without the approval of the Illinois Senate, and in the face of overwhelming opposition from the Democratic leadership, but according to Burris, he does have one powerful ally on his side:

"They can't deny what the Lord has ordained."

Hallelujah.
