Just go, Blago!

That’s what a federal judge said to former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in dismissing his lawsuit asking the federal government to reverse a ban on him from running for political office. The Illinois Legislature impeached the disgraced governor in 2008 when he tried to sell off the U.S. Senate seat held by then President-Elect Barack Obama. Blago was then convicted in federal court and served almost eight years in prison before President Donald Trump commuted his sentence.

Blagojevich filed a lawsuit in 2021 in the U.S. District of Northern Illinois, saying the state Senate’s disqualifying provision violated his Sixth and 14th Amendments. But U.S. District Judge Steven C. Seeger dismissed the lawsuit in a snarky 10-page decision that quoted Dr. Seuss.
