Alvarez Leaving?
Rumor Central via e-mails:
- 26th and California source says that Anita Alvarez has applied for a Federal Judgeship and has the backing of our two Senators.
How does someone who was never considered for a Traffic Court Judge gets the blessing for a lifetime Federal Judicial seat? Is the CCSAO in such a mess that Anita is looking for the seat ejector rather than run for re-election? If so, who gets to run the CCSAO office?
Hey, she was unqualified for her current job. Why not put her in another one where she can fuck up cases on a national level for the next 20 years?

AND THATS THE WAY IT IS.....
Being unqualified has never stopped Puchinski - why should it stop Alvarez? She's apparently hated by the ASA's, its a reign of terror or so I'm told, so we'll all be glad to see her go.
if she leaves another hack will take her place--- at least we have one less police hater over there....
Sometimes, I understand why some/most(?) people don't vote. We voters took the time to vote, whether for her or someone else. If she decides to vacate the office, then we voters are stuck with a puppet selected by the Democratic Machine.
This person was elected as a Democrat, probably has a law degree and will march in lockstep with Dick Durbin, so of course, she's "well qualified" to be a judge on the federal bench. Kill them babies in the womb, grab those guns, allow the us government to tell us what to buy, as in health insurance, regulate carbon dioxide, tell you how much water you can use in your toilet, tell you what type of light bulb to use in your house, and coming soon, mandated by the same government that thinks it should manage our lives, plans to monitor your electric use and monitor on your water consumption, monitor how much gasoline you use in your car and put a regulator on your home heat and air conditioning.
Keep voting democrat you geniuses. There isn't an area of your private life these do gooders believe is not in their power to regulate and control. And once you dummies have caused this, you'll say what all democrats say, It's for the children, or if it saves one life, as long as it's already born, or how about this, it's for the environment! I remember global cooling as a teen, now the dim-wits children are hollering about global warming.
Good riddance. Alvarez treated people like shit. Moved good people around (from days close to home to felony review on 26th St midnights) because "she didn't want people getting too comfortable."
She can't go fast enough for me.
She has no clue as states attorney,and she does know "basaball been veery verry good to her"! nothing but a machine hack put in to please the ever increasing illegals! 2 more years on to ARIZONA where sheriff JOE and the rest stand up for it's citizens!
I have mentioned this before when there are posts calling for the Feds to investigate this or that. The Feds are just as corrupt as the people who should be investigated. Do not get your hopes up too high on their legitimacy.

She needs to go, because there is NO WAY IN HELL she can justify the way that she has destroyed the CCSAO. She has driven out many experienced (higher paid) ASA's by forcing them to work felony review and drive all over Cook Co for 6 month streaches at a time, while replacing them with wet behind the ears fresh out of law school ASA's (lower paid). She doesn't give a damn about charging criminals with crimes, it is all about saving $$$ and boosting her unimpressive conviction rate. She is the worst, good riddence.
Take Dep Chief H.G. with you please.Maybe he can influence you to take up the cause to reduce his old partner Joe M's(Gangs North)sentence
who is serving life to get it reduced.Yes he was Joe's partner for a year in gang's.
She's from the same political scum pit as the leaders of our government, federal and local, they are all friends. Don't tell me your shocked?
Just what is the beef with Anita? You guys should be estatic. Remember all the anti-Devine, Anti-Milan comments you posted here before the last election?
Remember your glee when Devine's team were either fired or demoted?
You got what you wanted. Alvarez won the primary with less than 25% of the vote.
Be careful what you wish for...
Anita Alvarez . .
I know one thing...
when she was running for States Attorney they dumped A TON of money into her campaign.
These BASTARDS all have secret special agendas..
just look at Blago.
Big emerging scandal within the Cook County State's Attorneys Office coming???
Hmmm...
Its amazing, its been proven that almost everything the Hispanic Democratic Organization did is taited and many went to jail. Now one of their corrupt leaders wants a judgeship and the democats are going to give it to her!
No wonder, honest citizens don't stand a chance anymore.
Please tell me that this is somebody's attempt at humor.
Alvarez a Judge? I call Affirmative Action in Progress. Get it while U can, cause it's ALL comin to an end, real soon.

AMEN, AROTHER, A-MEN.
more government = less Freedom
This is so wrong to give little miss hdo hack a federal judgeship. She doesn't even deserve a spot in Animal Control. Now she'll be deciding on federal level cases, this is BULLSHIT.
Good riddance!!
She has done more harm to this office since she has taken over than the last 3 people to hold this office.
She has promoted incompetent political hacks to positions and destroyed the morale in the office.
People that she has appointed to supervisory positions have no business holding these positions, look at the Felony Review Unit.
There are supervisors in that unit namely, MW,VG,JB that can't stand each other, don't know how to speak to or address co-workers, let alone speak in dignified tones with local police officials.
Your tenure can't end fast enough!!!

DART for States Attorney. Keep him out of the city
Alverez leaving is not much news, as welcome as it is to us.
It should be BIG NATIONAL NEWS THAT RAHM EMANUEL IS LEAVING to run for Mayor of Chicago.!
National reporters should be asking about this, why?
Why, because it is the best sign yet that Obama is NOT going to be re-elected. Rahm is the first rat off the sinking ship.
Off topic...but I think it is a must have for anyone that wants to post it on Fleds car:

Old Retired Guy Here:
I think the real problem with the Cook County States Attorney's Office is Budget. As I understand it, they start off with a salary much less than a PPO. They have little training, if any. They get bombed with a heavy case load, right off the start. At the end of my career I appeared with many, that did not even know how to set the foundation of a case. They would not know how to ask me questions in order. They really needed experience. Problem is; It should be a career job, with proper compensation.
PS: Have A Nice Day ???

What are the Statute of Limitations for Fed crimes under Obama? Now's the time to flee the ship.
She is not leaving. She could have been a judge years ago. Why would she leave and take a 23k pay cut?
Face it, she will be in office as long as she wants.
Alvarez a federal judge ??? No F'n way. She'd make a great 'Court Jester" ! Better suited to selling snack food from a cart on 26th Street.
The end of civilization is near !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anita is going to be a federal judge in NORTHERN MEXICO.The cartels are sponsoring her becuase they found that She and her felony review legalista's let 9 out of 10 offenders go home.

Watch this video and you will see why Alvarez is not qualifies to be a judge. How can ANYONE be a judge who has to take an oath to support and defend the Constitution when she says, not once but twice, that she does not believe in the Bill Of Rights. Since when is it OK for a judge to pick and choose which Amendments she supports and doesn't support.
She's a fucking brain dead liberal.
Fox news just reported that 8 days before Mayor Daley announced his retirement that Rahm signed a lease for another year with the tenant that rents his home. Wouldn't that mean he doesn't meet the residency requirement for Mayor?
"Is the CCSAO in such a mess that Anita is looking for the seat ejector rather than run for re-election?"
Yeah, I get the distinct impression she's gonna blow the canopy and then pull the yellow-and-black striped handle...
"Hey, she was unqualified for her current job. Why not put her in another one where she can fuck up cases on a national level for the next 20 years?"
As long as it's not based anywhere around here.
From that, she can retire gracefully to a sinecure position prepered for her as "Professor of Hispanic Feminist Studies" at the City College -- right down the hall from Guitierrez' office.
Why not. We have a Attorney General here in Illinois who never tried a case. Its not what you do its who you know. Or who your dad is.
The mayor of Nogales Arizona got indicted why is it so hard to go after DALEY with many of the same charges?! His reign of corruption has lasted twenty years or is WEISal going to bring him in on his last day as super?
She has promoted incompetent political hacks to positions and destroyed the morale in the office.
---------------------------------
Sounds like she was following the hiring/promotional template provided by the Regular Democratic Party Organization of Crook County
It should be BIG NATIONAL NEWS THAT RAHM EMANUEL IS LEAVING to run for Mayor of Chicago.!
---------------------------------
Where does the Rahmfather think his votes are going to come from? Unions-no, Blacks-no, Irish-no, Hispanic-no
He'll carry the groveling political insiders hoping to save their do nothing jobs.
"...Why, because it is the best sign yet that Obama is NOT going to be re-elected. Rahm is the first rat off the sinking ship..."
Wrong, Rush Hannity, it means that the administration got tired of his back stabbing throat cutting take no prisoners BS so they launched him.
Rahm , I agree, is a rat, and he'll never get my vote. We didnt lose one scum bag mayor to gain another. I'm not voting for Rahmdent no matter how many PO's he has in his family.
Good riddance! Anita always wanted to be a Federal something.

No. Unfortunately he retains voting rights here and does vote absentee in local elections. He has the same status as elected officials who move to DC for work but maintain a voting address here.
Like a military veteran who is deployed but votes absentee here. Except the military is honorable service. Rahm is less than honorable.
hell ann burke did it
Be carefull what you ask for. You just might get it! Stroger or Preckwincle will appoint the next SA contingent upon the time frame.
Good riddance! Anita always wanted to be a Federal something.

I think I lost faith at "streaches". Also, the ASAs that have to go to Review for those 6 month "streaches" aren't replaced by "wet behind the ears law school [grads]", it takes over 6 years to even think about getting to the trial division.
Well, actually I lost faith before that - but that was some unimpressive writing by a purported ASA.
I've been in the CCSAO 20 years. Every State's Atty I've worked for has replaced experienced supervisors with their own choices. Bosses know that comes with the territory. Anita didn't invent that. Sometimes the changes are good, sometimes they are not. She's had more budget constraints than her predecessors because of the mismanagement of the County budget by the Board.
It's good to finally have a SA who worked in the trenches and tried cases as an ASA.
I know this will be an unpopular post and I will be ridiculed. But...I'm just another of those bottom-of-the-law-school-class incompetents who can't try their way out of a paper bag.
However, (just so you know I really am a lawyer) I will continue to be your voice in court to the best of my meager ability.
I hope Anita Alvarez runs for a second term.
