On the other hand, maybe Rod Blagojevich has reset the meter on impeachment, or at least restored its utility at the state level. If Ritter is behind this outright theft, violating the law willingly after *being warned by the AG that the move was explicitly against the law*, it's a textbook situation where impeachment applies. Let's start a drive to impeach Ritter. The time has come!
