It’s just Delusional
Via Rich:
“Today’s vote was not a surprise. The outcome was a foregone conclusion especially when you consider the committee released its report hours before wrapping up testimony. The Governor believes that the impeachment proceedings were flawed, biased and did not follow the rules of law. His team was not allowed to subpoena witnesses, they were never allowed to cross examine people and never given the chance to put on any kind of defense. In all, the Governor’s rights to due process were deprived.
“When the case moves to the Senate, an actual judge will preside over the hearings, and the Governor believes the outcome will be much different.”
The judge is only there to rule on Senate rules, not a large question of legal merit in a trial. This is over, and has been over, other than the actual votes. The Governor can choose to be responsible and leave on his own, or behave just as he has for the last six years. I expect the latter was the choice made many months ago by Rod Blagojevich in the mistaken notion that he can talk himself out of anything.
i had the same thought. perhaps i should have come here first…
I suppose we should try to look on the bright side. At least the Governor will be spending some time in Springfield. (Having said that I would not be at all surprised if he does not attend the impeachment trial. As I recall Bill Clinton did not attend his trial)
Are people watching the congressional proceedings? It’s available on WGN radio’s website. This is frikkin awesome.

Hell, he’s actually going into the office for once, so why not also show up in Springfield.
Maybe all that new allergen-free carpeting in the Executive Mansion will see some feet… Should still look like the day it was installed.
