Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested by the FBI on charges of conspiracy and soliciting bribes. Blagojevich was thought to have auctioned the Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder. The other Illinois Senator Dick Durbin said that he felt that the Senate appointment process was taking a bit long and that he sensed that something was out of the ordinary.
I think that it is wrong to profit off a special Senate seat appointment. As a public servant, one must not be influenced by money. I think Blagojevich has strayed too far in not displaying a just and moral character. This is a shameful day for America.
