On the one hand, it appears that the law is clear and the (not-yet-impeached) governor can appoint whomever he wants to fill Barack Obama's Senate seat. On the other hand, it seems reasonable that the legislature has a check on executive power in extraordinary circumstances (e.g. Senator Oprah).

USA Today, um, today:

Blagojevich considered Oprah Winfrey for Senate post

Advantage: Viking Pundit!
