It would be wonderful entertainment - at least for those not living in Chicago.
Unfortunately for Rahm, the Illinois Supreme Court is in Springfield.
Why a 2:1 decision at the appellate level? Is the law written so poorly that three astute judges cant agree as to what the law actually says? Or, are the three judges so inept that they cant read a simple law and all agree as to the meaning and intent of the law? Or is at least one judge so corrupt that hell read whatever he wants into the law.
He just hasn't greased the right palms with the right amounts of money yet.
There’s still lots of looting that can be done.
And if Oboma doesn't have to produce a birth certificate, why do I have to prove residency? That's unfair!!!
Burke is one of three Democrats on the Supreme Court, which is made up of three Dems and three Repubs, if she recuses herself it will make it (2) Dems and (3) Repubs ... ;-)
