The State Senate unanimously voted to remove governor Blagojevich from office today. The vote was 59-0. Blagojevich spoke first for about 45 minutes professing his innocents, but it was all in vain. The outcome was never really in doubt, but the vote count itself was unknown. They also voted that Blagojevich will never hold public office in the state of Illinois.
