Blago Coup Rejected

Just a quick note this morning. The Illinois Supreme Court has rejected Attorney General Lisa Madigan's complaint to have Rod Blagojevich declared incapacitated and removed from office.

Without comment, the court denied an emergency request from Lisa Madigan, the state’s attorney general, to consider removing Mr. Blagojevich from office as well as a motion for a temporary restraining order that would have immediately stripped Mr. Blagojevich of many of his powers, including the authority to appoint someone to fill the United States Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.

Apparently there is no written decision, but if I get one I'll put it up.
