Governor Blagojevich just held a press conference on his upcoming impeachment trial calling it a “trampling of the Constitution” because it does not allow him to call witnesses such as Rahm Emanuel, chief of staff to President-elect Barack Obama.

I do think he has a point, but I don’t think he’s going to get any help from the local press:

Blagojevich called on the editorial boards of the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune to rally to his defense in opposing the impeachment rules.

The Tribune? After Blago tried to get their editors fired?
