Roland Burris will be sworn in as the junior senator from Illinois on Thursday afternoon by Vice President Dick Cheney, officials announced this afternoon.
Cheney will be acting in his role as President of the Senate.
Following the swearing in, Sen. Dick Durbin, the assistant majority leader who had initially blocked the Burris appointment, will host a reception in his honor.
Finally this matter has been resolved, and I'm glad Burris got the seat......I'm really just glad we got another brotha in there.
