The simple answer is "No"
Impeachment is not criminal. Holding office is not a right and the process to remove someone from office is not a criminal proceeding and not subject to the Constitutional protections that are afforded to criminal defendants.
The result is removing the governor from public office; it is not taking away a liberty, not taking away property so it is not considered "judicial". Blago's claim that the proceedings were unconstitutional were baseless and made only for media.

Keeping you out of trouble is easier than getting you out of trouble!
Chad is right, but so are you Lee...
The Government can, and always has, been able to do whatever they want.
If you do not believe me, ask the guys at Gitmo, or the Asian Americans tossed into concentration (sorry, internment) camps during WWII.
