Blagojevich gets impeached; Burris gets judicial nod

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was impeached yesterday by the Illinois House of Representatives by a vote of 114-1. The articles of impeachment are now sent to the state's senate where Blagojevich will be tried. Governor Blagojevich states he will be vindicated in the end.

Roland Burris, who was slated by Blagojevich to take Barack Obama's seat in the United States Senate, won a nod from the state's highest court stating his certificate did not require the signature of the state's secretary of state to take his seat in the Senate.
