Illinois Supreme Court has rejected the unprecedented request of Attorney General Lisa Madigan to remove Gov. Rod Blagojevich from office, or alternatively, strip Blagojevich of his executive powers.

"Though issued without explanation, the simultaneous ruling that AG Madigan is not even permitted to file a Complaint seeking Blagojevich's ouster is a stinging rebuke to AG Madigan."

I tend to agree. He's an idiot. A dishonest one at that, but he's not been convicted of a crime (yet). Besides, this'll make great theater! As long as he's the gov, he appoints the next Senator from the Land of Lincoln. :lol2:

Yeah. Removing his is the right thing to do, but not the legal thing to do. I wondered how she was going to justify that.
