In this August 2008 file photo, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich discusses an executive order he signed that extends the language of an ethics bill passed by the House and the Senate earlier this year to include campaign contributions from large state contractors to officeholders. Blagojevich was arrested Dec. 9, 2008, on charges of conspiring to get financial benefits through his authority to appoint a U.S. senator to fill the vacancy left by Barack Obama's election as president.
