If former Illinois Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich thought his problems were behind him, the worst lies ahead. Late in January the state legislature voted to impeach and expel him from office. But it's not just his job but also his freedom that may be lost, thanks to pending testimony from his former chief of staff, John Harris.
