Here is the latest from the Illinois atty / general (and by the way, have you ever seen such game playing and fingerpointing by so many politicians???) Here is the Illinois atty gen statement:
STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO THE RULING
OF THE ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT
On December 30, Governor Blagojevich appointed Roland Burris to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President-Elect Barack Obama.
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White immediately fulfilled all of his legal obligations to effectuate the appointment of Mr. Burris.
