Wow! Did not see that 1 coming at all! Off course I'm sure it will be appealed to the IL supreme court. But for now he is off the ballot for chicago mayor. Here I figrued he was going to win for sure.

Its Chicago so I am sure its just a minor setback. I am sure Obama will try to poke his head in to support his buddy. This will get kicked around the courts at the cost of the taxpayers for sure.

Not really. This can ONLY go 1 more level up. IL Supreme Court. Based on the news they do plan on appealing to the ILSC. Suspect that we will know before mid-feb the answer since this is a time critical issue.

The Chicago machine controlled election board and judge went in his favor. The appellate court did not. The IL Supreme court is not necessarily Chicago controlled. We'll have to see how this plays out. I was not anticipating this either but it is indicative of Obama's waning influence.

"...Senator Carol Moseley Braun becomes the leading candidate in the race" Out of the frying pan, into the fire we go.

 

[chef larry]

Just watch and see how he is put back on the ballot.

 

[Hotdoger]

Rahm Emanuel did not even own his own house in Chicago. When he did live in Chicago the house he lived in was owned by a 501c. (Nonprofit)

Just nother rat scam artist from Chicago.

Well the ballots have not be printed yet. Per the articles I'm reading the controller of the ballor printing said as of right now the name will be printed.

Somebody didn't get paid in a timely manner I think.

"...Senator Carol Moseley Braun becomes the leading candidate in the race" Out of the frying pan, into the fire we go.

As a former IL, all I can say is "yeah, it can go from bad to worse". Moseley Braun is a lunatic of the highest caliber and while its more ethical than letting Rahmbo become mayor cause he's a Obama sycophant, its certainly not "better".

braun was getting 6 or more welfare checks every mo. as a senator

I think it has to be settled by Jan 31st as early voting begins then.

 

[Redemption]

He could always get his job back at Mossad.

 

[Expat]

Pray for the health of the appeals court judges that rendered this decision.

Maybe the check is in the mail.

Sadly the Ill. Supreme Court is all stacked with Dems. They'll figure out a way to get that shyster on the ballot.

Then his mafia buddies will strong-arm everyone else outta da race and he'll be the king of Chi-Town.

Then watch it circle the drain. Albeit slower than if that whack-job Mosley Braun gets in.

The IL Supreme court is not necessarily Chicago controlled.

Ummm, this is a joke, right?

The Illinois Supreme Court is in bed with the Chicago Machine, the Machine:

Office of the Chicago City Clerk

And when I say "in bed", I mean sleeping right next to the Chicago Machine as his wife (and Chicago-Kent alum), the Illinois Supreme Court:

Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne M. Burke

I would anticipate with an en banc panel of the CoA or the Supremes quickly reversing this decision.

He back on the ballot while the court looks at things. Which means he'll likely remain on the ballot, if the court has anything to say about it.
