“Wikipedia says Thomas Fitzgerald is a Catholic, but the vast majority of history is from Chicago/Illinois. I see he taught at Kent Law School. My nephew graduated from Kent around 2003-4. I wonder if he has any information. I’ll have to ask; it was after Fitzgerald’s time. BTW, he was just elected Chief Justice this past May.”
I noticed it says he is a member of the Leo High School Hall of Fame. That’s a Catholic boys high school on the south side of Chicago—it would have been a blue collar area at the time he would have been going to school there. It says his father was a judge, so he was probably from the Beverly neighborhood, with Dem political connections.
He’s a Democrat. Thats established. What was questioned was whether he has any Kennedy connections.
