"Judge Dismisses Blagojevich's Political Comeback Suit, Quoting Dr. Seuss: 'Just Go, Go, GO!'"

TL;DR Summary
A federal judge dismissed former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich's lawsuit attempting to reverse a ban on his return to public office, using Dr. Seuss' "Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!" to emphasize his decision. The judge debunked Blagojevich's claims and highlighted that a federal court cannot intervene in a legislative impeachment proceeding. Blagojevich, who was impeached and imprisoned for political crimes, filed the lawsuit in 2021, representing himself, but the judge ultimately dismissed the case, stating that the courthouse is no place for a publicity stunt.
