FOX News is keeping a 24-hour vigil on Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-IL). I was watching it today at my doctor's office, because I do not watch it at home. It would seem that the ultra-conservative news channel is obsessed with this case, since Blagojevich is a Democrat.
Further, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has called on the state's supreme court to rule Blagojevich unable to execute his constitutional duties as governor and install the lieutenant governor in his place. This goes further to the issue of whether or not Blagojevich can install a senator to take Barack Obama's former seat in the United States Senate until the 2010 election. Many pundits agree that he now lacks the authority to make such an appointment, since he has been indicted on federal charges, including those stating he attempted to "sell" the pending senate seat to the highest bidder.
