The Illinois Supreme Court declined a request to find defamed Gov. Rod Blagojevich unfit for office. The governor has been accused, among other charges, of attempting to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat. "Without any comment, the state Supreme Court simply refuses" to hear the case for impeachment, reports CNN's The Situation Room, "and the state attorney general says she's disappointed." Should Rod Blagojevich be impeached? Or is it too early to take such drastic action against the Illinois governor? Post your thoughts.

I voted for the idiot twice and REGRET voting either time. He is extremely arrogant and should be removed from office immediately.

Just wait, this will all go away. Our idiot gov. will remain

in office. They have delibertly put him on the back burner.

After the Obama Mama gets in office, he will be forgotton.

If something hasnt been done by now, nothing will happen.

Its just another thing for the news media to cover until

something more exciting happens. Just wait, he WILL remain in

office.

Rod is an arrogant, deceitful, pompous crook who deserves to spend many years behind bars. As a citizen of the State of Illinois, I am embarrassed by him. He has crippled this state. I hope the federal government has a solid case against him, and I hope the government moves expeditiously to rid the state of this scum. And while they are at it, I hope they take down other crooked politicians with him. Illinois politics are ripe with corruption.
