Fellow blogger Tony Campbell has already posted on the issues the Senate might face in trying to block the seating of Senate appointee Burris. However a new wrinkle has entered the fray as Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has indicated that he may refuse to certify the appointment, which is required by Senate Rules.

If White does refuse to certify the appointment, then the Senate could reject the appointment with ease but Governor Soprano could then sue to force White to certify (which could compel AG Madigan to decide which side to take).

Needless to say, it could be interesting.
