Rod Blagojevich is now the former governor of Illinois. In a result that was pretty much a foregone conclusion, the state senate has just now voted unanimously to remove Blagojevich from office. Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn will now be sworn in to take his place.
Update: In a second vote, also unanimous, the state senate voted to disqualify Blagojevich from ever again holding public office in Illinois.
War Room is written and edited by Alex Koppelman, with contributions from Salon reporters around the country.
