Mr. Estrada, have you ever taken a course in state and local government? Blagojevich has not been “voted out.”

Actions taken by the Illinois House are only the first step in the process.

Forwarding the Impeachment Resolution to the Illinois Senate is not a matter of “turning it over… for their say.”

Action by the State Senate requires a trial with the Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court presiding and a convicion on the charges requires a two-thirds majority of the Senate.

This man just needs some serious mental help…I mean really! For him to think that he still has a leg to stand on and that he did nothing wrong he must be whacked out!

Cindy…Ga.

Once the Illinois Senate votes to convict him that giant headache will go away and Patrick Fitzgerald will finish the process and give Blagojevich a brand new home behind bars. But, who knows? The Senate may not convict; its always a possibility. And if they don’t convict what then? I wonder if the Governor has poems for either outcome for his next speech?

He is like that stubbord stain you get in the toilet bowl. No matter how hard you scrub he keeps making the toilet look dirty! Keep flushing Illinois….

The Illinois Impeachment actions reflect the Illinois Constitution’s limits on the governor’s powers – like not undertaking legislative action. His actionas in those areas were not that much different than President Bush using his legislative sigining statement to modify the actions by Congress.

What a disgrace. The theme of this election was to end the corruption, bring forward a feeling of togetherness, and move forward. And now, we’re interrupted by this absolute fool. Blago needs to be reminded he serves at the will of the people. We want him GONE. This self-serving, narcissistic stance he is taking benefits nobody, but possibly himself in the short term as he narrowly holds onto power. But, what is he holding onto? No decision or policy he undertakes no will have any possible chance of being taken seriously. I think Blago needs to be reminded that our forefathers were pretty specific about what the American Government was supposed to be about – by the people and for the people. Bye Bye Bushie….Bye Bye Cheney….Bye Bye Rummy……Bye Bye Blago…

what world is he livin in. He’s not in the same as most americans

What happens if he proves he’s innocent on the alleged concerns ?He sure seems to be taking a stand to do so. What are the facts in this case ?

This is hilarious especially the one about the stubborn toilet bowl stain. Blagojevich is focused on keeping his job. Like Rocky Balboa is about boxing he won’t quit.

I don’t know what was the vision of the people of Illinois in relation to Gov. Blagojevich and I would like you I reply about it, but here in Brazil, the impeachment was full of sad disappointments, although it has not reached the routes in fact.

The impeachment is necessary in cases common crime, crime of responsibility, abuse of power, disregard for constitutional rules, or violation of constitutional rights, but this is a painful process and, most importantly, ‘embarrassing’ for a nation. If anything good is that the truth (honesty) prevail.
