Illinois A.G. Moves to Remove Blagojevich

The Illinois attorney general has filed a motion with the state's Supreme Courst asking the justices to remove scandal-plagued Gov. Rod Blagojevich from office.

Lisa Madigan took the action Friday as pressure on the governor intensified to step down and pressure on the State of Illinois intensified to fix the problem should he continue to refuse to do so. The move came as the governor prayed with several ministers in his home before heading to his office, telling them he is innocent and will be vindicated "when you hear each chapter completely written," according to one of the pastors. Huffington Post reports that Madigan will argue that the Governor is unfit to remain in his current office. The Illinois Attorney General held a press conference Friday Morning to make the announcement and discuss the issue. There is no word on how quickly the Supreme Court could rule, or where they are leaning on the issue
