Mark R. Levin just put out a request for anyone who has a video of Rhambo as a ballerina to let him know. 6:30 p.m CST. Jan 24. Said he would be very interested in it.

The residency rules also apply to the police and fire department. If they had ruled for the Rahminator, they would have opened Chicago up to many lawsuits re firings for sham residency schemes. The law is clear. If you have a question about it, hire Bert Odelson. He’ll get you on the ballot, or off it.

Oh I’m not arguing against the ruling, just musing on the topic, the irony, and feeling a little guilt over my feeling of schadenfreude.

Fear not, he gets to appeal to his state supreme court......I hope they can be trusted to follow the law, but I am not counting on it. Fortunately, I don’t live in Chicago.

I'm thinking that if Obama and Emanuel did not part on good terms, then Team Obama 2012 would rather not have him as mayor of Chicago when they locate their re-election team there.

[Probably had something to do with the east coast mafia bust. notice how chicago or vegas was spared? thought so...]

I am the author of the only biography of Harry Reid (click my name to see more). The book goes deep into the mob ties of both Reid and Mayor Oscar Goodman. A pig slop is not so dirty.

A person of average intelligence would have obtained a top-notch attorney that specializes in real estate, taxes, and political legal details -

The problemo that Rambo and 0pansy have is they are so arrogant and egotistical that they truly believe they are the smartest people in the room or for that matter - in the known universe.

That is transparent male bovine scat -

A man or woman has to know his or her limitations -

There is always somebody bigger or stronger or smarter or a better crook than you are.

Your past track record in finnagling (I do not care if I spelled that right or wrong) is not a reliable predicter of whether you will be able to fake or cheat or bully your way to the top in the future.

Legal residence in the City Of Big Shoulders means ‘a place where you legally resided in the last full year’ - It does not mean where you stored cardboard packing boxes full of law books, ballet photographs of yourself, your Israeli military documents and photos (serving in a foreign armed service already made Rahmbo ineligible to serve at the federal gover nment level in the USA - claiming you were only a civilian volunteer nurse from America or wherever or whatever does not cut it!), or Bill Clinton’s old donated underwear.

Words mean something - as El Rushbo says

In the law there is a simple guiding term called “strict scrutiny” -

“May” is not strict scrutiny

“Will” or “Shall” are strict scrutiny

I much doubt that the Illinois state statute regarding residency says “May”

The 2nd Ammendment does not say that “Congress ‘May’ make no law”

It says “Congress ‘Shall’ make no law”

If you have access to talk radio tapes or archives from those days of the impeachment hearings of William Jefferson Blythe-Clinton - esp. from WABC 770am NYC - The Steve Mahlberg overnight show - Every night you will hear serious discussions of the Federalist Papers and the US Constitution -

I know who it was that was discussing those little legalities quite well -

No more “It depends on what the meaning of is - is!” Crapola

DISCLAIMER:

That does not mean a possibly corrupt Illinois State Supreme Court will not decide to put Rahmbo back on the ballot in Chi-Town

The crooked Florida State Supreme Court in Tallahassee decided for algore during the 2000/ChadGate election garbage

It is not a question ‘if’ you can buy a State or Federal Supreme Court Justice

The only question is how much it will cost to buy them

In cash, investments, or political favor agendas

{COURT: Candidate ‘must have actually resided’ in city for 1 year before election...}

How simple it once was when people understood what the law said and abided by it. Hard to believe the Illinois Supreme Court could deviate from that, but.......

Good comments devolve, words do mean something.

This makes me sad, in a way. I always thought Rahm and Chicago deserve each other.

Thanks potlatch

It has warmed up to 14°F here - I could do without the Global Warming side-FX right now - no great news from NYC

My pizza delivery guy said his bathroom pipes froze last night

Rahmbo and 0pansy know what the statutes are - they just thought they could continue to twist them through the courts as in the Ryan candidacy for US Senator

There are statutes deliberately written with ‘wiggle-room’ - “May” - I doubt the state law was so written and passed (I myself have not read that state statute)

The one Appeals Judge that decided in the 1:2 minority has to be in the pockets of Rahmbo-0pansy

It looks like Chicago has double-crossed the Rahmbo-0pansy twins now - Chicago will not necessarily be doing the JFK re-scamerama for 0pansy in 2012

Yet The Illinois State Supreme Court Justices may yet be looking for some under the radar safe offshore pension enhancers and just toss out the written state laws and write themselves a blank checkeroo or two or three

Congressman Issa - check your messages.....

Whatever the #2 polling black woman Cythia McKinney is like - she cannot be worse than Rahmbo/0pansy

Rahmbo/0pansy/Clinton have turned on their faithful 99% voter base

Will the two who voted for this result now receive a dead fish for their vote?

What was the rationale for the dissenter?

He's dead!

Well that remains to be seen as some pundit reminded us that this was Illinois and no DEMOCRATIC is ever denied what they desire in a State they fully control.

What I posted was a direct quote from the Drudge headline and the same as you wrote. I imaging Drudge had the wording right.

Wonder if the two judges will end up with horse heads in their beds....heh

It is because he’s not black. The true liberal’s candidate would be Carol Moseley Braun.
