The [Monday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

"The U.S. Supreme Court has for the second time rejected an appeal by imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich of his convictions on corruption charges. The justices did not comment Monday in letting stand the convictions and 14-year prison term that Blagojevich is serving," the Tribune reports.

Reminder: Trying to "sell" Obama's Senate seat was the least of Blago's multiple crimes. Try shaking down a children's hospital, for example. The evidence against him was, in the words of a federal appellate court, overwhelming. He also actually got a major break when it came to sentencing. See The [Monday] Papers of April 31, 2015.
