CHICAGO (AP) -- A lawyer for Rahm Emanuel says the former White House chief of staff will appeal a ruling that says his name can't appear on the ballot for Chicago mayor.

Mike Kasper said on Monday that they will take the case to the Illinois Supreme Court.

NATIONALIZE THE STATE OF IL AND DECLARE RAHMBO THE NEW DICTATOR OF THE STATE AND CITY OF CHICAGO.

I hadn’t heard that the court ruled against Rahm. Was that a Cook County court?

“his name can’t appear on the ballot for Chicago mayor.”

Couldn’t to a more deserving punk. Of course a few bucks with death treats could resolve this in his favor.

[freekitty]

Why is it that this guy can cleanse himself falsely on record; while anyone that questions his falseness gets their clock cleaned?

[Why So Serious]

The further he gets away from Chicago and Cook County the less they have “control” over the judges. The Illinois Supreme Court will see the election rules the way they are written, but the way Cook County Board of Elections interpreted them. No Rahm No!

Yo, Supremes.

Got any horses???

heh

He and his campaign are now considered a dry hole, and nobody is going to pour more money into it.

Sometimes it's just too easy to add something to other posts.....I'll leave this one alone, however.

Alderman Ed Burke’s wife is on the Illinois Supreme Court and he endorsed Gery Chico. MSM will not have more influence the guy sleeping next to you!

[RummyChick]

Madigan got his way. Rahm is out.

Very interesting! However, she will likely have to recuse herself?

[freespirited]

I think he’ll go back to Wall Street. After spending two years bashing it, of course.

No, it was the state appellate court ... now moving on to state supremes.

[dennisw]

What do I have to do to get on that damn ballot!!! I didn’t raise ten million for nothing!! Who do I pay off!

**** Chicago is bankrupt and being mayor will be a thankless task. Rahm Emnauelle is an idiot to want that job

[The Brush]

Perhaps Rahm will feel better if they explain that his chances were aborted.
If his name was already on the ballot it can be called a partially birthed and aborted campaign

Funny how it’ll take years to litigate the Az shooter’s guilt but Rahm’s eligibility to run for Mayor will be decided in a matter of days.

[DManA]

Rahm’s hand is going to be really sore when he gets done writing checks to all his big shot contributors.

Just came back from the doctor with bad news. I have cried so much today and don’t know what we are going to do. Didn’t think I would have anything to smile about for a long time.

Until I read this headline. It actually made me laugh until I cried again.

Since the courts are dicussing eligibility, could they maybe address the eligibility of the man in the White House?
