Just read that the Circuit Court Judge in Cook Co. (Maureen Ward Kirby) who has agreed to take the case has admitted that she doesn't even know if she has jurisdiction.

That ought to make the Trumpets confident. :)

I guess it's honestly not so clear-cut just who does have jurisdiction?

Thanks for the ping, though.

I wonder -- is that an opening for attorneys representing Cruz to name who does have jurisdiction? If so they gotta' make it good. If just pushing it up to higher court within State of Illinois -- then what? A lurking ringer of a judge that's already been earmarked by whoever can get away with doing that? Landmine area ahead. Injun territory.

'Aaw man. Glad I'm not a lawyer and would have to figure out the dance moves, on top of the what would likely be among main legal principles. Those are relatively easy in comparison to all the rest. Codes of civil procedure and local curt rules alone can have landmines. And that's just the beginning of additional sorrows.
