Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has been waiting for a decision in his lawsuit that could open the door on another run for office.
But the wait is a long one. It's been more than a year and a half since he filed a federal civil rights case against the state that challenged a law he said prevents him alone from running for office.
U.S. District Judge Steven Seeger has not ruled on the motion to terminate Blagojevich's lawsuit in 18 months, and nothing has been filed in the case since. Blagojevich told the I-Team two years ago that it's unconstitutional to pass a state law against one person stopping them from running for office.
