Breaking! Rahm Emanuel kicked off ballot!

[Brian4Liberty]

DEVELOPING: The Chicago News Cooperative is reporting that an Illinois Appellate Court has overturned a decision regarding Rahm Emanuel's Chicago residency. The court reportedly decided Emanuel is not eligible to run for mayor of Chicago because he has not been a resident of the city for one year.

LOL. Somebody is gonna find an equine head in his bed come morning.

*evil laugh*

From the comments section:
This is an appeals court ruling.

It will be decided by the Illinois Supreme court.

Jay Cutler? ;) Oh yeah, that probably already happened this morning...

[ronpaulhawaii]

Good news out of Chicago? hmmmm... a pleasant "change" ? lulz... I'd imagine this will go up the ladder...

[angelatc]

There's no good political news from Chicago. The new mayor will be a corrupt politician. The name is immaterial.

Hmm - next week's headline "God-King Obama rules Rahm Emanuel eligible for Chicago mayoral election"

[Aratus]

does this all sorta implies that barack obama's numero uno honcho
shall be slinking & slouching back to d.c rather egg on face quietly?

[pcosmar]

Making popcorn.

[Romulus]

Not sure it this will hold... likely to be overturned somehow, someway.

[libertybrewcity]

Hello supreme court ruling.

[specsaregood]

Making popcorn.

Wiki says the current IL supreme court makeup is 3republicans and 4democrats.

If I was a betting man, i'd wager on him being on the ballot. There isn't anyway this could end up in the US supreme court (ala 2000 election) is there?

I thought he used fishes.

Nothing that a few thousand more dollars won't take care of. It's the Chicago way.

[Stary Hickory]

Well at the very least he deserved that..

[HOLLYWOOD]

This is an appeals court ruling.

It will be decided by the Illinois Supreme court.

Look for future .gov promotions and/or wealth gains for all involved in the IL Supreme Court when they overturn the Appeals ruling. You can count on Rahm & company will line up some good jobs and/or investments with his crone friends on Wall St./Banking. North burbs has plenty of power connections for the Weasel to use too (Barry's Bankroll: the Pritzker Dynasty).

Intrade bets?

[pcosmar]

I am sure there will be many quiet conversations.

"You have a nice family. You wouldn't want anything bad to happen,,, "

[Pericles]

Probably the best news i will hear all day.

Ever since his brother's production company put Ron into Bruno right around Super Duper Tuesday in the last campaign, I have had a personal grudge against that family.

Hope for America & Justice

Thread winner :D

[anaconda]

I wonder how many times Rahm dropped the F-bomb when he found out? How many times did he plunge his hunting knife into his wooden desk or coffee table?

What a jackass....didn't even do his residency homework.

Looks like a CRISIS that one of his mayoral opponents decided not to let go to WASTE!

[CountryboyRonPaul]

Damn those pesky laws!

Care to make a wager? http://www.intrade.com/jsp/intrade/contractSearch/index.jsp?query=Rahm+Emanuel+to+be+elected+Mayor+o f+Chicago+in+2011# The last trade on intrade was at 55% chance of Rahm being the mayor of chicago. This is a stark difference from the 97% he commanded before the news came out. From one of the twitter feeds I looked at, the Supreme Court does not like to overturn Appellate court. Also, I believe the appellate court was made up of 3 democrats?

[vita3]

Intial Chi town voteres ballet gets printed out in 7 days.. I think.

If Rahms name isnt on that he's out.

This is what I picked up reading some artice

[Romulus]

How the hell is supposed to rig the election if his name isn't on the ballot? Damn! They're making him work for it... someone will pay for that I'm sure.

[BlackTerrel]

I honestly don't get how it can be any other way. The rules are not clear. He is NOT eligible.

Somehow I feel like he will get to run anyway. I don't think he would have left his job without knowing for certain. Just watch.

[Brian4Liberty]

He's baaaack.. Who's surprised?


Rahm Emanuel back on the ballot pending possible court hearing

The Illinois Supreme Court has ordered Rahm Emanuel's name back on the Chicago mayoral ballot pending a possible hearing of an appeals court ruling, the Chicago Sun-Times reports, quoting Emanuel's attorneys.
