The General Assembly seems to be rushing to strip the Governor of his power to appoint to someone to President-Elect Obama's vacant Senate seat. On the other hand, Speaker Madigan is being far more cautious in regard to impeachment, saying he is "prepared to discuss" Leader Cross' call for impeachment hearings.
Here is my concern with that cautious viewpoint: If Governor Blagojevich is unfit to select a U.S. Senator and has to be stripped of his appointment powers post haste, then he is unfit to exercise his other gubernatorial powers and needs to be impeached as soon as possible. Historically, the Speaker has been a deliberate public servant, however he has to come to terms that the usual cautious approach is not only unwarranted, but actually dangerous.
Governor Blagojevich is a continuing harm to our state. The General Assembly needs to act accordingly.
