Law - *Analysis: Must U.S. Senate seat Burris?"

Two interesting articles today on the question. Lyle Denniston of SCOTUSBlog presents his analysis of the June 16, 1969, decision in Powell v. McCormack here. And Mike Dorning and David G. Savage have this article in the Chicago Tribune, headed "Does Senate have authority to block Blagojevich's appointment of Roland Burris? Supreme Court has said in past that House and Senate cannot refuse to seat someone who meets qualifications."
