We’ll see how much of a death grip the democrats have on the Illinois legislature.

Blago has the uncanny ability to turn unprecedented numbers of people against himself. The IL democrats are in the drivers’ seat, with or without him. They benefit either way. In this case, I think they will be stronger. The fact that an impeachment hearing has been convened and is now underway, means there will be a conclusion. Blago’s toast.

My guess is that it is a foregone conclusion that Blago will be impeached by this committee. They are simply going through the motions. Todays’ hearing was not unlike watching a U S Senate confirmation hearing; what with the style, format, tempo, etc.

About JCAR:

The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules is a bipartisan legislative oversight committee created by the General Assembly in 1977. Pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, the committee is authorized to conduct systematic reviews of administrative rules promulgated by state agencies. The committee conducts several integrated review programs, including a review program for proposed, emergency and peremptory rulemaking, a review of new public acts and a complaint review program.
The committee is composed of 12 legislators who are appointed by the legislative leadership, and the membership is apportioned equally between the two houses and the two political parties. Members serve two-year terms, and the committee is co-chaired by a member of each party and legislative house. Support services for the committee are provided by 25 staff members.

Two purposes of the committee are to ensure that the Legislature is adequately informed of how laws are implemented through agency rulemaking and to facilitate public understanding of rules and regulations. To that end, in addition to the review of new and existing rulemaking, the committee monitors legislation that affects rulemaking and conducts a public act review to alert agencies to the need for rulemaking. The committee also distributes a weekly report, the Flinn Report, to inform and educate Illinois citizens about current rulemaking activity , and maintains the state's database for the Illinois Administrative Code and Illinois Register.

It’s a win for the IL democrats; that’s why they are leading the charge.
