The associated press has an interesting article on the Senate’s ability to refuse Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s pick for the Senate seat recently vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.  I’ve wondered this for a while, and it’s interesting to be reminded that the Constitution explicitly gives Congress the right to “judge” whether or not it’s members are fit to serve. I’m sure this is something I learned in Government Class back in high school, but it’s been a while.
