Mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel (Michael Tercha/ Tribune)

The Illinois Supreme Court has granted Rahm Emanuel's stay. Which means he's back on the ballot.
Earlier today Emanuel's spokesman Ben Labolt said he had plans to turn to the U.S. Supreme Court if Emanuel doesn't receive a favorable ruling from the state.
Emanuel's lawyers filed an emergency appeal with the Illinois Supreme Court, asking to have him re-added to ballots. Today, ballots are being printed without Emanuel's name after an Illinois Appellate Court residency decision on Monday booted him.
Some believe Emanuel will look at a First Amendment question for the U.S. court to weigh in if a state ruling doesn't go his way
Hey, it’s Chicago, who gives a rat’s rear end? Crappy sports teams, crappier weather, politics that make Al Capone look law-abiding.
A little “global warming” to raise the level of Lake Michigan a few feet would bring much needed improvement to the area, IMHO.

FLIPPIN BRILLIANT!
I knew it was too good to be true. These Dems are the slickest, most treacherous bastards with the proper connections in every arena.
He aint that educated, nor that smart.
Just army of marxomuslims and leftists pushing his agenda which is contrary to a successful America. All feeders looking to redistribute wealth, level the playing field. Soon, they too will be shrugged off to complete his islamic drive.
I agree.
They only granted the stay, not the expedited appeal.
Watch for the IL Supreme Court to schedule it for a hearing after the primary. If Rahm wins the primary, he’s off the ballot. If he loses the primary, the case is moot.
Nice little group of thugs he’s posing with.
seems silly to print them,who is going to pay for it?
Speaking of Barry Soetoro. Remember the Onama roast about HIS NAME?

An emergency. Just how critical is it that the tiny(and profane)dancer be mayor and why?
“The former chief-of-staff was bounced from the Chicago mayoral ballot Monday in a surprise decision by the Illinois Appellate Court.”
So, if the writer says that this was a “surprise decision” by the court, what does this say about the writers pre suppositions and beliefs?
This is Chicago politics. We don’t need no stinkin’ rules.
Interesting read on Big Gov:
To pull it out for Rahm, the SC needs at least *some* wiggle room, and I’m not sure they’ve got it. Also would like to see someone follow up on the mysterious reactivation of his voter registration status.
Hey, if you can get an unqualified guy elected POTUS, doing the same for Chicago mayor is a walk in the park.
Not surprising.
And not news.
Post of the Thread.
How is this that complicated?
Did he live there? No. Did he need to be? Yes. Can he run this year? No.
2+2 does not equal 5 just because you want it to.
Obama wants Chico to win. He wants Rahm out. Will Rahm’s body be found in a dumpster like Wheelers?
