Only in Illinois – Unanimously vote for Blago impeachment, yet Mike Madigan says impeachment will take longer than expected

Why am I not surprised by the corrupt state of Illinois? Fox News interviewed Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan today after the lower body voted unanimously to pursue impeachment. Madigan explains the process at length and includes a few surprises. Apparently, the impeachment process in Illinois does not require a showing of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” It’s a purely political process, which still requires supermajorities in both chambers for impeachment and removal. All their constitution says is that the House will be the sole judge of the causes for impeachment, which allows the House to take up the argument — offered by Madigan’s daughter, the Attorney General — that his arrest incapacitates Blagojevich politically to the point requiring removal.
