SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Gov. Rod Blagojevich will face long odds, and perhaps some legal twists, in the Illinois Senate trial that will decide whether he'll keep his job or be tossed out of office.
It may be called a trial and involve the trappings of a courtroom, from a judge to exhibits and objections, but experts point out that the event will be political, not legal. The senators are free to base their decisions on old feuds and popular opinion if they want, rather than fine points of the law.
