The United States Supreme Court on Monday decided not to hear an appeal by disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
That decision was noted in a list of orders posted Monday on the courts website.
Blagojevich, 59, reported to a federal prison in Colorado four years ago to begin serving a 14-year sentence. He was convicted of 18 counts over two trials. Among other things, he was accused of attempting to trade his power to appoint someone to a U.S. Senate seat the one recently vacated by President Barack Obama in exchange for personal benefits. A three-judge appellate panel tossed five of his 18 criminal convictions last year and ordered him to be re-sentenced. However, that panel also pointed out it is not possible to call 168 months unlawfully high for Blagojevichs crimes.

not a chance in hell; now if he was AA or Muslim for sure
A lot of bad hair days coming his way.
He’ll convert, then the Musslime-In-Chief will pardon him. Then he’ll convert back after some inner reflection.
With the way islam has infected the prisons, he may have converted.
That’s why Obama wants the gizmo group in the states. They can recruit from the large prison population
good point, I bet after the Nov. election he is going to open the flood gates on the prisons. Pardons will be handed out like candy on Halloween!
Blago sure turned out to be a disappointment. I thought he would spill many cans of beans just for the heck of it and he didn’t.
Maybe he’s planning to write a book.
Maybe he likes living.
Never thought of that. Could be.

Remember Jim McDougal? Blake probably does.
Blake probably does. Blake should be Blago. Autocorrect really sucks.
Yep.
