POLITICAL JUSTICE METED OUT IN ILLINOIS AS ROD BLAGOJEVICH IS SENTENCED...........

Immediate past, impeached, Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, was sentenced today to fourteen years in prison, for his conviction of attempting to sell the United States seat, vacated by President Obama four years ago, to the highest bidder.  Questionable and illegal political dealings cost the former Governor and memner of Congress, his governorship, his livelihood, and his freedom.  Blagojevich's conviction and lengthy sentence are a victory for equal justice in society where illicit self-serving agendas and political corruption, must be constantly addressed and reformed.  From my youth as a high school and college student, with a A.A., and B.A. major, in Political Science / Government. I have consistently advocated the continuous, ongoing reform of our political and governmental systems.  Even in democracy, every human institution can and does become self serving and corrupt, unless due vigilance and reform are carried out on a regular basis.  Power, Position, Money, Influence, and Corruption, cannot circumvent the law or pre-empt justice.  If and when they do, we surrender some of our most basic and constitutional rights to freedom, liberty, and equality, as citizens of the United States of America and the World...........Fr.  Troy
