IL Impeachment Committee Formed

Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan announced today the formation of an impeachment committee that will recomend whether Gov. Rod Blagojevich should be impeached. Speaking at a press conference, Madigan -- father of state Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan -- said 12 Democrats and nine Republicans would make up the committee, with no Democrats with less than six terms in office included.

"We have given the governor six days to resign," Madigan said. "It is time that we move forward with impeachment."
