Far less than 800.... and I don't believe there are firing squads employed in the USA.

Blago, AKA 'Potsi', has also been barred from ever holding public office in Illinois. Seems their Legislature may know something about this individual since it was a unanimous vote, 56-0.

Well we knew that was going to happen. His whole media thing for the past couple days was pretty much pointless.

His hair style was reason enough for execution by firing squad.

I know very little about this case. However, it seems odd that they can take such drastic actions based " partly on his governing style of the past six years, and partly on criminal allegations"

Allegations are not proof. Don't know what the governing style refers to.

As I say, they might actually have the goods on him, but I'd hate to be canned on 'allegations'.

Wasn't Jerry Springer almost the Illinois gov at one time?

If you know very little, then do some research on the matter. He's on tape trying to sell Obama's senate seat.

Trumps hairstyle is so hideous, that death by firing squad is too humane. I suggest some sort of medieval torture that is slow and agonizing!
Best hair cut I ever got was the one that welcomed me to the USAF, and I maintain it to this day..LOL!

"Blago" and "Trump" both have terrible haircuts and styles.

They could be brothers. . . .from different mothers.

My haircut. . .Flat-top. High and tight.
Hair color. . . gray. (And proud of it!)

Oh. . .and good riddance to Blago.

And with each passing year, our haircuts become easier to maintain!

If he was innocent as he claims to be, he should have attended the impeachment and defended himself. Instead he tours the talk show circuit crying innocent victim. He reminds me of O.J. golfing and looking for the "real killer."
