re: #757 opnion

It is pretty clear that Burris perjured himslf befor the Impeachment Committee. Lookink at his answers then to specific questions & his ammended affadavit, there is little doubt.
Northwestern Law Professor, Dawn Clark Netch says that the remedies are limited in Illinois. They can declare the Burris appointment temporary & call for a special election. In her opinion that’s it.

The Illinois AG needs to take action and bring charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. I don’t see him being removed as a result, even if a guilty verdict is rendered or he cops to a plea.
