Blagojevich update, February 16, 2012, Chicago attorney Len Goodman heading appeal, Rod Blagojevich assigned to Littleton, Colorado, Patti interview
“Why did the Illinois Senate Health & Human Services Committee, with Obama as chairman, create and push Bill 1332, “Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act,” early in 2003, which reduced the number of members on the Board from 15 to 9, just prior to rigging by Tony Rezko and Rod Blagojevich?”…Citizen Wells
“Why did Patrick Fitzgerald and the US Justice Department wait until December 2008 to arrest Rod Blagojevich?”…Citizen Wells
“I believe I’m more pristine on Rezko than him.”…Rod Blagojevich
From the Chicago SunTimes February 15, 2012.
“Rod Blagojevich will be spending his time behind bars in a Littleton, Colorado facility as he had asked — something one of his lawyers said the family had hoped to keep private.
Carolyn Gurland, who had a hand in handling the ex-governor’s sentencing, said Wednesday that Blagojevich and his family were focused on his transition to prison.
“He and his family want some privacy during this time,” Gurland said. “The govenor’s focus is going to be that there is a smooth transition and hopes there’s some respect for his privacy.”
“Mr. Blagojevich, (the U.S. Probation Department) and the defense team were extraordinarily cautious that this information did not become public and we’re very disappointed that it did,” she said.”
From Chicago Business December 22, 2011.
“A Chicago attorney who has represented a Guantanamo detainee and former Cicero Town President Betty Loren-Maltese is taking over the appeals case of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, sentenced this month to 14 years in prison for soliciting a bribe and other federal corruption charges.
Len Goodman, a Chicago criminal defense attorney, will lead the effort in the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. He was assigned by U.S. District Judge James Zagel, who handed down the sentence.
Mr. Goodman, who has tried criminal cases in state and federal courts throughout the Midwest, said he is still getting up to speed on the case.
“I wasn’t at the trial and need to read all the transcripts,” said Mr. Goodman, who won a rare acquittal before a federal jury when he represented a Utah pharmaceuticals executive charged with six counts of fraud.
“The main issue at trial was — what was (Mr. Blagojevich’s) intent? This is a case about campaign contributions; he was not accused of stuffing his own pockets the way some other politicians do. The governor was part of a system in Illinois which required him to raise tens of millions of dollars to stay in office and which encouraged him to seek campaign contributions from persons who received business and benefits from the state. In that type of case, the defendant has to be given a full opportunity to present evidence of his intent, or what was in his head,” Mr. Goodman said in an email. “That is what I am going to be looking at. Did the jury hear both sides of the story? Did they get a full picture? Or did they hear mostly just the evidence that the government wanted them to hear?””
From ABC February 10, 2012.
“In an interview that was rambling, tearful and sometimes punctuated by sobbing, former Illinois first lady Patti Blagojevich on Thursday spoke in detail for the first time since her husband was sentenced to a lengthy federal prison term.
ABC7 News has learned that Mrs. Blagojevich taped an exclusive interview with Chicago-based talk show hostess Rosie O’Donnell.
During the one-on-one interview, the wife of the impeached and disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich downplayed the severity of her husband’s wrongdoing that resulted in jury convictions on 17 corruption-related counts. “He was found guilty of getting advice and having routine conversations with advisors and closest friends” she told O’Donnell “It wasn’t about anything else,” she said.
Accompanied on Thursday by the lawyer who unsuccessfully defended her husband, Mrs. Blagojevich said that she wanted to provide more details about the legal ordeal and that “someday when this is over we could have 3 hour conversation” but that “his lawyers have told me not to talk about it.”
Mrs. Blagojevich said that the “case isn’t over. We have faith in system that this wrong will be righted and truth will prevail.” The former governor’s legal team has filed an appeal of the conviction and sentence.
Mr. Blagojevich is scheduled to report to federal prison on March 15 to begin a sentence of 14 years. He has requested to serve time at a facility in Colorado.”

Citizen WElls 
Their appeal should start with the testimony of Tom Balanoff who clearly contradicted the report in where Obama clearly states that he had NO contact with anyone in regards to the Senate seat…Tom Balanoff testified both times in the 2 trial of Rod Blagojevich that he spoke directly to the President “elect” YET there was no mention of this in the report Obama turned over to the press, public and the 4 federal agents who interviewed Obama and his lawer Baur…For Blagojevich’s defense team to be denied access to the minutes (302’s) to this meeting is cause for a miss trial…

Pat1789,
I have sat on the side in idle simply reviewing your comments for the last 2 days and have a 2 simple questions for you.
– Which politician to you support for Presidency?
– Explain why.
————————————————————————————————–
Currently Mitt Romney.
Because he is not a Beltway hack like Santorum and Newt. And his record is more Conservative then either one.
He can also raise the 1 billion required to unseat the Usurper. Both Newt and Rick are only in the race due to 1 major donor each.
That being said, I’m still open to Ron Paul if the rest implode. I just can’t stand his supporters.
Your Turn

Bessie, even the prosecution appears to be corrupt, and as CW has pointed out, Fitzgerald, and the prosecution is shielding Obama, from involvement. The words tyranny, and anarchy come to mind.

Gingrich meets eligibility attorney
Encourages Orly Taitz to hound Obama for actual birth certificate
http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/gingrich-meets-eligibility-attorney/
In a Southern California campaign appearance, presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich encouraged California attorney Orly Taitz to continue her campaign to question Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility to hold office.
Taitz, who has filed several lawsuits aimed at securing Obama’s certified birth certificate and introducing evidence of his ineligibility for office, rose to her feet to address Gingrich in Pasadena. She suggested his lagging campaign could only be lifted by raising the issue publicly.
“It could help your campaign like it did Donald Trump,” Taitz said.
Gingrich responded by saying Taitz was better equipped for the role.
“That’s a project you should pursue,” he said.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First, thank you for your honesty. Second, If you believe Mitt is a Conservative Republican, I am confident you are aware that is highly debatable. Are you willing and ready to defend Mitt’s political mistakes, history of being liberal left leaning, flip-flopping and socialist policies that would make any liberal proud?

Observer,
Yes, It’s a cop out. They all know. They are a part of it. They refuse to get involved. They want all others to conduct the works to expose and leave them out of it. They do not want any risks nor liabilities to their careers.
But the good news is they want your vote to place them in office so they can “Do the right thing for America” and defend our Constitution.
Quite the quagmire isn’t it….?
Observer,
I should add: If our elected officials failed to take responsibilities in their past capacity as representatives, and currently fail to take responsibility today, then how am I to be convinced they will take responsibility once elected in a different position? That to me is simply incomprehensible.
william,
i like the cut of your jib! Thanks
Just heard Judge Napolitano say within the ways of amending the Constitution is one via general public consensus due to such dire events that make changes “necessary”……so far though one would think there is not presently any public general consensus that their religious freedoms must be ignored or taken away and yet that is happening…..but they are already abusing people at airports for the so called “common safety”…..and attempting to prevent only one side of the free speech right…..and of course it will be “public consensus” to place guns only in the hands of those who won’t abuse those the PC designated for greater sympathy for “everyone’s safety”.
And….worse…..when those rights are taken away and replaced by a one size fits all remedy as in airport screening….and when you have perverts in power you get this stuff:

Pat 1789, I am sure most here would agree that we all respect one another’s opinions. What we don’t tolerate are the hateful retorts.
Please…there is enough angst and divisiveness in this country. We don’t need to be redistributing it here at this site.
CW,
I thought you were opposed to name calling.
William, join the club. 😉
IB, Yes it was early, but I hadn’t even gone to bed yet. (on the “night shift”)
Thanks for your civil input.
For a peculiar, unknown reason it seems that some folks can go along for awhile as decent contributors, and then all of a sudden they go haywire – or bonkers.
Pat17,
Which part was gutless? Asking you if you are willing to defend Mitt’s past and policies?
Certainly if anyone (Including myself) that takes stance behind any politician, I am also welcome to defend reasoning behind such analysis. Apparently, you are not. This then begs the question. Why are you refusing to announce your proclamations and supportive policies of Mitt Romney – without naming any of them, then jump on the defensive side and attack anyone who questions you?
That is simply irrational. Its not difficult Pat17. Tell me, what policies you defend of Mitt’s. We can discuss and debate them one by one.
No reason to name call. I am seeking a discussion and rational debate with you. Nothing more. Start……
This was posted at RMN by VK Durham……very sad indeed…..many people don’t have a clue about this…..Ron Paul has been predicting this outcome for years……
Many Of You Will Not Believe Some Of The Things Americans Are Doing Just To Survive
You might not want to read this article if you have a weak stomach. Most Americans have absolutely no idea what is going on in the dark corners of America, and when people find out the truth it can come as quite a shock. Many of you will not believe some of the things Americans are doing just to survive. Some families are living in sewers and drain tunnels, some families are living in tents, some families are living in their cars, some families will make ketchup soup for dinner tonight and some families are even eating rats. Some homeless shelters in America are so overloaded that they are actually sending people out to live in the woods. As you read this, there are close to 50 million Americans that are living below the poverty line, and that number rises a little bit more every single day. America was once known as the greatest nation on earth, but now there is decay and economic despair almost everywhere you look. Yes, money certainly cannot buy happiness, but the lack of it sure can bring a lot of pain. As the economy continues to decline, the suffering that we see all around us is going to get a lot worse, and that is a very frightening thing to think about.
The following is a half hour documentary produced by the BBC entitled “Poor America”. Trust me, this is a must watch. Your heart will break as you hear some American children talk about what they have to do for food….

Cabby,
I certainly (personally speaking) attempt to understand anyone’s paradigm. But when a person refuses to discuss anything behind their supportive reasoning and yields to nothing but attacking everyone else, then their is a behavior or more sinister problem behind the persons reasoning of posting comments.

We are seeing Obamacare a piece at a time, and we are shocked at each piece. I want all 2000 pages published so we know what else is in there! i.e. Why does President Obama need a civilian Corp? HE DOESN’T! Furthermore, His first act in office was to write a memorandum to the Secretary of State to say “IT IS IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL INTEREST TO FURNISH ASSISTANCE” …to give $20.3 million to the Palestinians in the Gaza strip to meet their migration needs. (This was equivalent to an executive order.) Why was this kept from the Main Stream Media??? (I am tired of Secret agendas…civilian corps??)
We are slowly losing our rights!!!”

First off and most importantly: HEALTH CARE IS NOT INTERSTATE COMMERCE and does not fall under the provisions of the Commerce Clause. The last time I checked each state provides its citizen with at least one (Florida) if not several health care providers (California) to choose from, yet neither state can sell their health care insurance in other states (Ex. A person in Florida can not buy Kaiser Permanente Insurance from California and use it in Florida). which makes health care INTRA-STATE COMMERCE, making health care State controlled and regulated.
Congress has over stepped its authority with ObamaCare by setting it up, as a monopoly, which is an illegal business practice in this country. If the government is allowed to sell health care insurance coast- to-coast, border-to-border then every health care provider in the country should be allowed to do the same. This provides a fair and balanced playing field for all providers in the health care business including the government.
Based on this one fact alone: OBAMACARE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND SHOULD BE REPEALED (no part of the Bill should be allowed to remain in affect).
P.S. The $700 billion in stimulus that is unaccountable for is what finances O’care”
