Formerly convicted ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich sues for right to seek elected office again

Former Illinois governor and felon Rod Blagojevich filed a lawsuit against the state, demanding that his right to run for elected office get reinstated.

Blagojevich, who served eight years of a fourteen-year prison sentence that was commuted by former President Donald Trump in Feb. 2020, despite consternation from some Republicans, lost the chance to run again following a 2009 vote by the Illinois Legislature, which occurred a year after his arrest.

“I’m back from the dead. And it’s good to be alive again,” he told reporters on Monday outside a Chicago federal courthouse. “It’s about the people’s right to choose their own leaders.”

He may have learned some things during his period of disgrace. It's possible he's even become a conservative.

A question we have seen a lot of in the past 5 years:  "Does a Presidential Pardon really make a person 'whole?'"
