Yeah but who'd accept it?
Several Democratic operatives from Illinois say the Illinois state legislature will likely move as quickly as possible to hold impeachment proceedings against Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D), in attempts to prevent the jailed governor from appointing President-elect Barack Obama’s successor in the Senate.
The Illinois General Assembly would be tasked with holding impeachment hearings, and the state Senate would vote on a conviction.Illinois law allows Blagojevich to make an appointment while in jail. While the decision would be a disaster for Democrats politically, no one is ruling out that prospect.


I'm just guessing that there are very, very few people lining up to be picked to the senate by Blagojevich from his jail cell.
