Prosecutors moved in on Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) on Tuesday instead of waiting longer because a Chicago Tribune report last Friday about wiretaps on the governor could have forced him to pull back on a corrupt deal, notes Byron York. With Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) leaving the Senate Judiciary Committee and his chairmanship of the Immigration Subcommittee, the prospects for amnesty for illegal immigrants have declined, writes Mark Krikorian.
