The suit was filed by Judicial Watch, whose lawyers say the Senate\'s refusal to seat Burris is unconstitutional.<br><br>Burris was appointed by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (blah-GOY\'-uh-vich) to the Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.<br><br>Senate Democrats and Obama have said anyone appointed by Blagojevich, who is embroiled in a corruption investigation, would be tainted and should not be allowed to represent Illinois.<br><br>The Senate on Tuesday refused to swear Burris in with the rest of the new senators.

Rod Blagojevich "called our bluff" in appointing someone over their objections, a senior Democratic congressional source conceded Wednesday.<br>"We tried to send a political signal to Blagojevich that we would not seat someone he appointed. He called our bluff, in a reckless way," the Democratic source said.<br><br>A second senior Democratic source said that the issue had clearly become a "heightened situation" that needed to be dealt with and that Burris\' face-to-face meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Majority Whip Dick Durbin really helped to establish a "person-to-person dialogue."<br><br>Burris described his meeting with Senate leadership as warm and called Reid a "very warm and charming gentleman."<br><br>Burris also said former President Jimmy Carter called him before the meeting and told him, "Roland, you will make a great senator."</div>\
