In Illinois, the State House of Representatives has voted to impeach Governor Rod Blagojevich for abuse of power. The vote was 114-to-1. The Democratic governor will face trial by the State Senate next week. Meanwhile, Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said Sunday it was likely that former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris would be seated as the state’s newest senator this week despite the impeachment of Blagojevich.
