    U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens gave federal prosecutors one week to respond to ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's request to delay his corruption trial. Stevens on Friday told the government to respond by May 28. The trial of Blagojevich and his brother, Robert Blagojevich, is scheduled to begin June 3. Rod Blagojevich's lawyers say the high court first should decide whether the federal honest-services fraud law is constitutional, because it's the basis of some of the charges he faces. A decision is expected next month.
