Rahm Off The Ballot?!
We are indeed living in interesting times:
- Rahm Emanuel should not appear on the Feb. 22 Chicago mayoral ballot, according to a ruling issued by the state appellate court this morning.
Two of the three judges on the panel said Emanuel does not meet the residency requirement. The judges reversed an earlier decision by the Chicago Board of Elections that determined Emanuel was eligible.

HA HA
Gery Chico you got my VOTE!!!!
Thank you Jesus!
Interesting times indeed. As I said in another topic, let's see if Illinois Supreme Court Judge and wife of slick Eddie Burke, Ann Burke, can influence the outcome at the Illinois Supreme Court level. If twinkle toes Rahm is ruled against at the Illinois Supreme Court level, look for US Attorney General Eric Holder to green-light a Fitzgerald led charge/indictment into Eddie Burke, which in and of itself would be a wonderful thing. Wow, this is hilarious and can only take place in corrupt Chicago and Crook County. Let the good times roll.......
Rahm and Chicao are cut from the same loin cloth. Off with their heads and vote for the others candidates.
He'll repeal to the supreme court. Back on the ballot in no time. Then sworn in as mayor.
Nothing to see here, move along.
The Chicago way
Thats to bad I was going to rent my house and move to the burbs. This changes everything.
OT: Two St. Petersburg Police Officers were killed today in a shootout. God Bless these officers. This is the 24th of january and already 14 officers killed this year, nine by gun fire. It's going to be a bloody year so stay safe and be alert.
Christmas may have come a bit early this year....
All in all I am voting for Chico.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
make way for the doo-dah gang.
does this mean downtown brown is gonna be the next superintendent?

R E V O L T !
A contemporary revolution unlike anything imaginable.
How long do you think it's going to take before he is in front of the Il. Supreme Ct.? And if that fails, he'll take it to Fed. Ct. on some trumped up bogus bull$hit. I'm going to wait and see before I hold a party, but the news did bring a smile to my face.
Masters masters masters
Judge Lampkin is a political hack. Not very bright but her dedication to the machine got her a spot on the Appellate Court. No wonder she ruled in favor of the Rahmster.
Please, I hope it sticks!!
Uh, oh.
From DSLC Blog:
Detective Shavedlongcock:
If you look back at my original posting regarding Rahm's run for mayor... I said that Rahm was looking for a graceful way to exit the Obama's White House...
What would be a better way for Rahm Emanuel to exit the Chief of Staff position than to run for the Mayor of Chicago. It was a graceful way to exit...
But that wasn't the only reason... Rahm fully knew he would be ruled ineligible to run due to not only living in Washington DC for the last few years but also renting out his residence. Here is a man who made millions of dollars in his new found Chief of Staff position but he still rented out his house? And not only rented it out but to a guy who wouldn't move out so Rahm could move back in? Give me a break, Rahm is much more street smart than to let that happen.
Next Rahm ran to Hollywood where his brother is an agent to the major celebrities there. Rahm raises over 10 million dollars in campaign funds... Not a bad way to make 10 million dollars without even working....
So Rahm now has over 10 million dollars he can keep (just pay taxes on) and he doesn't have to be the mayor of Chicago which is in deep deep deep financial trouble... and he now has a ton of people (voters) feeling sorry for him which will benefit him when he decides what he really wants...along with over 10 million dollars growing fast in some interest bearing accounts...
And who will probably become the front runner with Rahm gone? Gery Chico, Daley's personal choice for Mayor. Remember that Gery Chico is Daley's former Chief of Staff and will keep all the corruption from being exposed from the Daley years...
Didn't anybody wonder why both the Chicago FOP and the Chicago Firefighters Union backed the 3rd place Gery Chico in the mayoral race? Knowing full well how much everybody knows that Rahm Emanuel is a cut throat M'er F'er to anybody or any organization that goes against him? The FOP & Chicago Firefighters Union would be looking at political suicide if Rahm became mayor...
It didn't make any sense at all... until now.
I called this the day Rahm Emanuel announced his intentions to run for the mayor of Chicago... And I still stand by my prediction.
As Nelson Muntz one said, "Ha ha".
Maybe there is a God afterall. Hopefully the Illinois Supreme Court agrees with the lower court and Rahm is gone.
Holy Cow!
God taketh away (Bears) and giveth (Rahmbo)!
He/She works in wondrous ways.
And gave us the most important of the two!
Thank you GOD, for felling the Scumocrat's plans to continue the shortshanks reign of terror and thievery and nepotism far into the future!
Priceless! Perhaps some mild consolation for yesterday's disappointment in football.
Good wishes, and kudos to you. I do so enjoy reading your thoughts.
You cant stop the machine... R.E.
P.S. Enjoy you 1% a year work retirement. Thanks for not supporting me.
Yes!! It's about time someone stopped and listened to the people. Now let's support Chico.
Now he can walk with a cool ten million in fund raising with the help of BJ Bill and laugh when the city goes bankrupt. Not that he would have fixed anything cause he would not have. And who will the media preordain now.
fkn news media seems so disappointed , he didn't reside here and he can run in four years
quit wasting money to hear this case in court
looks like it'll be cmb , chico and delvalle
this may help delvalle
good news for us but tragic news for the rest of the country. very violent two days towards police officers. a 20 year veteran officer was shot and killed in livonia michigan and two police officers were killed and a us marshall shot and wounded in st petersburg florida. not to mention the 4 officers shot in detroit and the two officers killed a few days ago in miami and the officer just killed in dc last night... these are dangerous times be careful.
3.1-10-5(a) of the Municipal Code:
"A person is not eligible for an elective municipal
office unless that person is a qualified elector of the
municipality and has resided in the municipality at least one year next preceding the election or appointment ***." 65 ILCS 5/3.1-10-5(a) (West 2008).
He raised 11 millions, i'm sure he's going to buy plenty of expansive lawyers with that and send them to Illinois Supreme Court. But time is ticking away. Early vote is a week from today.
great news,but what will the ill supreme court do?
Now if only Obama has to prove he's legal we may be in business!!!!!!!!!!
2 Police officers killed and 1 wounded while executing a arrest warrant in St. Petersburg, FA this morning. At this rate the country is set to double the 61 officers fatally shot in 2010.
Be careful out there and make sure we are training and practicing all the time. Never hesitate to call for another car or put your hands on people.
...Like my mom always tells me, "Be judged by 12 before you are carried by 6."
Is Anne Burke on that court???
something funny is going on,
welcome to city hall ms braun
do you think it will be over turned at the illinois supreme court.
don't pop the cork yet, there's still the ISC ruling to come.
Domicile = intent
Residence = actually lived there
statute requires residence, so it matters little that he intended to come back. He has to actually hand his hat there. PERIOD. End of story. THere is an exception for VOTERS, but not for CANDIDATES.
Poor hollywood-types wasted all that $ --- goofs!
BA-BYE NOW! BA-BYE.
Appellate Justice Bertina E. Lampkin wrote a dissenting opinion.
"I disagree with the majority's contrary conclusion that the candidate is not eligible to be on the ballot because that conclusion is based on an analysis of two issues --- establishing residency and a statutory exemption to the residency requirement --- that are not relevant to the resolution of this case."
Isn't it funny that Judge Bertina Lampkin is the only one that says Rahm should stay on the ballot?? This is the same Judge Lampkin that was at 26th St. and time and time again gave probation and no probation violations to the one of the shit bags that murdered Officer Valasquez in 007. It's all legit folks.
I heard it's because arbitrator Benn was on the election panel.
ok folks, better VOTE and come out in force or else we'll be stuck with Mosley-Braun and Detroit will look like a model city compared to Chicago.
VOTE PLEASE!!!
Whooo-Hooo!!!
All we can do is pray the Illinois Supreme Court backs this up.
Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Fuck you and your administration.
Lordy, Lordy. What will the ballerino do next? Who will he squeeze to make his wishes come true.
Look closely at this one.
Eddie Burke's wife sits on the next court up. That court can decide not to hear the case and it is then a done deal.
Boy, if that comes to pass, I will believe that there is someone up there looking out for us.
I still wish a conservative would have the nerve to run for mayor but on its face it is an impossibility; what with the stooges we have living in this city who vote.
What will they do with the ballots that already have the ballerino having the majority of votes?
The Illinois state supreme court rarely overturns the appelate court. So, get ready for Mayor Chico.
The Illinois Supreme Court does not have to take an appeal, they could deny Rahm's application and that would be all she wrote. Also, the Illinois Supremes have the wife of one of Rahm's biggest political foes-Anne Burke.
Poor, poor Rahm. What will he do with his $12,000,000?
Where does Rahmmie the Commie Vote ? Illinois, Washington,DC;, Israel ??? Why can't I vote in those elections too ??? How many places can he claim as home ?
How will he and the arrogant, corrupt Chicago/DC Cabal find dirt on an Illinois supreme court Judge or pay one off, to toss this case? Will the Feds as usual overlook it? Will the Mob have to take care of it like michael Scott ?? Wow, what a movie these Weasels could make.
I read most of the decision. It says a 1938 case distinguishes between "domicile"and "residence." But then the decision goes on to talk as though they are synonymous.
Oh well. Fuck Rahm anyway.
Don't be so happy guys. I'm not. I was kind of hopeing that he stayed on. Then I was going to be able to rent out my house to sec 8 people and go stay on the lake house in sw mich. Hey i will intend on moving back some day. If it was going to be good enough for him, it would of been good enough for me. And only working 8 days a month it was going to be easy to do.
Not A Cop
Thank Goodness!!!! Go Gery Chico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im not yet convinced he will be off the ballot this coming February. Look for the messiah in Washington to intervene via the Supreme Court.
We must get the word out that Chico is our guy! Obviously he is not perfect, but none of the candidates are.
Post his website on your facebook account if you have one!
http://gerychicoformayor.com/homepage.aspx
Great! If it were us, the police, we would have been fired!
24 HOURS IN THE USA
11 OFFICERS SHOT, SOME WERE FATAL!!!!!!!!!!
One person was interviewed, here the quote:
“They are shooting at people they know have guns,” Johnson said. “I don’t know what’s going on out there, but I’ve never seen it like this. I do see the developing of a callousness. It’s almost as if shooting a police officer has lost its shock effect.”
Watch out boys & girls... 10-1 Emanuel gets back on the ballot. The "fix" is on. This will show how crooked this city is. Rules only apply for us who are deemed inconsequential. There is too much $$$ on the line for Daley & his cronies to lose if Emanuel doesn't win. We can only hope there are actual people of out there who see through this farce and have the power to stop it. Kudos to you judge Hoffman.. City politics have never been or will ever be fair. But you would hope that the person who would become mayor would make the correct decisions to safeguard the welfare of this great city and citizens whom reside within it. Change is inevitable., but the correct change will only come from someone who has no ties to this city or the corruption that has crippled it. To those african-american chicagoans out there. Mosley-Braun??? Ask yourself., what has she ever done to make your lives better??? Just keep in mind., people that use race as a tool to sway your vote should always be kept at a distance. That's ignorance playing on your fears. It should always be about what candidate that represents your views and a proven track record of accomplishments.
what will justis ann burk say ann will have trouble with this case
Riiiight! just you wait. The funs not over. He has 12 million to get him on the ballot. He didn't seem to worried. Didn't he say his kids go to school here? I thought they were still in Washington?
J fed sucks balls either way
WOW... who to choose?
I would pick Chico now. From what is left who do you see as anyone halfway competent? Braun????
I am surprised others did not throw their hat in the ring.
Rahm will be on the balot in this very corrupt state of ours..This is Chicago..The law does not apply to the Democratic crime machine..The Lakefront and all of their very LIBERAL Los Angeles money will assure his victory.11.5 million in his fund..What happened to election reform???Donations from..Spielberg,Geffin,Sorkin,Trump...Trump??? Oh yeah,Trump has all of those vacant condos here..Ask yourself..Here is a candidate who served in the Israeli Army and not the US forces??Is he a Israeli citizen or US citizen??Where is his LOYALTY???We recently learned in our last Presidential election that being a US citizen does not matter when you have enough of George soros' $150.00 debit cards placed into your political funds.If you like the current political climate and economy in this country..Vote for Rahm..His political donors outside of our city and country will thank you later for your vote by stealing what Daley has left behind..When will the media ask Rahm the tough,relevent,and honest questions????
"Two of the three judges on the [state appellate] panel said Emanuel does not meet the residency requirement. The judges reversed an earlier decision by the Chicago Board of Elections that determined Emanuel was eligible."
All you have to do is to get across that city line, out where they got their own well water and not Daley Kool-Aid, and you suddenly find judges who can see what's plain to the average muffler mechanic.
As famed mayoral assassin Patrick Prendergast wrote (or tried to write), "ALLLIIEEEEEUUUIIIEEEEEEIIIIIEEA!"
Hallelujah!
There's a gleam in my eye, a bit of a spring to my step, and a smile playing around the corners of my mouth.
Life is worth living again.
If he does stay on the ballot, how will the ruling effect the residency rule for all city workers. Can I just leave a box of old uniforms in the attic and move to Glenview. I sure hope so.
Obama will make his call and someone's palm will get greased. It'll all work out in the end. It's the Chicago way.
That is a beautiful thing!! It restores a little hope in this corrupt state. Lets just hope it sticks and somebodies isn't waiting for a big pay out in order to change their vote.
O.T. 2 officers are shot and killed in a shootout in St. Petersburg, FL. One officer laid wounded in the house. The department used a vehicle in pounch a hole into the wall to rescue the wounded officer. Big difference when Inv. Airhart was left wouned with the FBI in charge. Police place a high value on life. Feds have different priorities. Gott run will never understand.
Maybe God has finally taken pity on Chicago. Now the other incompetents have a chance
So how is Bertina Lampkin connected? She's the one judge who sided w/ Rahm.
I hope the other two like fish.
if you rent out your house and leave the city & move elsewhere, that house is now income property & not your residency. Rahminator, annouced he was leaving the white house before Daley even announced he was not running again. SO, where was Rahminator going to do, what was his intent, when he already knew he sign another yr lease with his tenants. his wife & kids in D.C. with his kids already in school. HE WASNT COMING BACK HERE ANYTIME SOON. atleast for another year.
don't get too excited just yet, IL supreme court can still put him back on
Alderman Burke does not wan Rahm and therefore he pulled the strings of his puppets and they did as told!
Loved the justices jurisprudence. Go Chico!
He's still going to try to appeal to the state supreme court. So, we have one more final so for NO to Rham us in the ass. If allowed on the ballot, VOTE NO for this clown.
Del VALLE for mayor! Chico Braun are machine, same as usual locals.
isn't burkes wife on the state supreme court?LMAO!!!
The threats and the cash are already flowing from that arrogant weasel. He'll be on the ballot.
He should be on the ballot. He went to work for the President of the United States. Vote him in as mayor or out as mayor. We the vote should make that decision and have that oppertunity. The judges are in Burke's pocket and he backing Chico.
Let's go Chico!
good fucking riddance!
Fucking great!!!
The new leader is CAROL!!!!!!
Carol For Chicago
Chico=Daley
You think this will stop him?
Hell no!
This is Chicago, people! Wake up! He'll fraudulently find his way in to make mayor.
While I am Happy that the Appeals Court decided this way...
How is Chico any better?

-----------------------------------
Hopefully Anne Burke will sit on this say for about a month before taking up the case.
When it comes to this issue, Eddie Burke is our best friend...
There is too much $$$ on the line for Daley & his cronies to lose if Emanuel doesn't win.
-------------------------------
Bill Daley already has Rahm's former job as Chief of Staff. John Daley is still on the County Board. The Daley's still have power.
Rahm has his campaign war chest.
Not a bad consolation prize.
So while Rahm Emanuel and his attorneys head to Springfield to appeal this afternoon's decision to toss him from the ballot, City Clerk Miguel del Valle now gets the top slot on the ballot for next month's election. Del Valle's name is followed by Carol Moseley Braun, Gery Chico, Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins and William "Dock" Walls III.
Below is video of the Press conference Emannuel held earlier this afternoon regarding the Appellate Court's decision. He's putting up the brave face here but would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for the stream of profanities he likely spewed when the decision was announced.

So we just ignore laws when they don't suit our agenda?
We don't make the decision if he is allowed on the ballot to become Mayor, the law interpreted by a judge does. This country's form of government is not a democracy where the people vote on each issue, we are a representative republic. But I suppose you want to go the route the current administration in the White House goes, which is around the law.

1/24/2011 03:09:00 PM
never.
This is America. If you have enough money you can just keep appealing until you get the decision you want. He will be back on the ballot.
guys...LOOK... chico was daley's chief of staff!! Come on! THINK before you "daa... im gonna vote for dat der chico feller" I don't have all the answers, but I KNOW chico isn't it...
I am surprised others did not throw their hat in the ring.

dont worry rahm?/?
U WILL GET AN APPEAL!
AND RUN INTO A SOUTH SIDERS WIFE WHO IS A JUDGE BY THE NAME OF
"BURKE"
U KNOW THE BURKE WHOSE HUSBAND IS ENDORSING CHICO.
WHO U REFUSED TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE U WERE GOING TO KICK HIM OFF AS HEAD OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.
dont worry JUDGE BURKE WILL BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL AND RULE AGAINST THE SMARTEST JUDGE IN THE STATES OPINION. (SARCASM)
NOW EVERYONE CAN SEE WHY THE SOUTH SIDE ALDERMAN RAN RAHMS TENANT FOR MAYOR.
THE QUESTION BEING HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN CLAIM A RENTAL A A HOME.
KEEP BUYING THOSE JUICY ADDS DURING BEARS GAMES.
SOUNDS LIKE AN FOP BALLOT COUNTERS
ARE JUDGES TOO??
Rahm worked for the king of getting people kicked off the ballot. Fuck him. The Illinois Supreme court is bought and paid for by the democratic party so don't be surprised when they put him back on the ballot.
TV reporting now that THE PRESSES ARE ROLLING -- the Board of Elections cannot wait any longer. Here come 2 million ballots without Emanuel's name on them!
Bertina Lampkin was the dissenting appellate judge; they said she used to work for the City. Knows in her heart what's best for us, no doubt...
what will justis ann burk say ann will have trouble with this case
1/24/2011 02:51:00 PM
TV is mentioning her conflicts, saying that she should step aside for this one.
OT --
Large suitcase bomb packed with nails, screws, etc. detonated in the Moscow airport -- "50 injured 35 critical." Probably Chechen rebels.
If a Policemen or Fireman or any city employee for that matter had a house in Chicago and rented it out but lived in Deerfield and our kids went to school there we would be fired as soon as we walked in the door at work!!!! We would not be considerd Chicago residents and Rahm should not either!!!! Rahm should not be allowed to run for mayor as he has lived in washington Since Obama became president not Chicago!! Also Mr.Rahm don't come up with the BS that military personel are still considered residents when they are gone fighting in another country!!! You Mr. Rahm were not fighting for anything or ordered to Washington by the military you went on your own terms for a job!!! YOU ARE NOT A CHICAGO RESIDENT!!!!!!!!
We have to live in this city or face be fired without a hearing!
Well so should he! Fuck that weasel!
City residency law actually works in our favor for a change!
Da Pelon
Will the supreme court over rule?
Don't get your hope's up high people, Rahm will appeal, supreme court will overturn, he will be the next Chicago Mayor. IT'S THE CHICAGO WAY, Obama got his back.
Gery Chico you got my VOTE!!!!

First of All:
It was his "Choice" to work for the president! It was not like he had joined the Armed Sevices. He was Paid Well for his time there. There was very little sacrafice.
So before you decide to cry into your pillow tonight for Good Ole Rahm.
Think about this: The president, Oprah, and Daley himself thought he had the Olympics in the bag.
Rahm thought he was a shoe in...He even had Clinton come in and Celebrate and raise $$$ for what he thought was going to be an easy Win.
Let's put it this way, to keep Rahmbo out of their I would Vote you in First! And your an Idiot!

But they don't deserve a pension. If they get one it should be when they are 65. Don't let them work the desk when they get older they need to be on the streets. There is more uproar if someone threatens a politician than if someone kills a cop. Oh but we have money for illegal aliens to go to college.
Interesting excerpt of three names from the Chicago Police Star magazine, November, 1969, page 3:
Here are the names of the first 100 officers on the Detective list. Of the 1,189 officers who took the exam, 552 received a passing grade of 70 or above.
Position/Name(Unit)=Grade
1. NORTHEN, John W.(011)=101
5t. FARRELL, John B.(020)=98
30t. HOFFMAN, Thomas(017)=89
t = tie
Isn't it funny that Judge Bertina Lampkin is the only one that says Rahm should stay on the ballot?? This is the same Judge Lampkin that was at 26th St. and time and time again gave probation and no probation violations to the one of the shit bags that murdered Officer Valasquez in 007. It's all legit folks.
She was a judge in a few cases of mine and never appeared to have a clue.
In Chicago crime is at an all time low, yet police pensions are in trouble. The city is near bankrupt and the media says the mayor did a great job and his pension is fine.
Nationally those who don't pay their bills are bailed out. Those who do the right thing are taxed more.
Time for real change.
He's probably stabbing his kitchen table with a steak knife now shouting, "Thomas Hoffman, dead! Shelvin Hall, dead!"
Let's hope he hits another finger and lops it off too.
This is a great day for Chicago. This guy would have been ten times worse than Shortshanks.
Burke owns you.
Serve your master well.
Not just yet Rahmbo!
One down (hopefully)
now
where's the birth certificate?
CMB CMB CMB CMB
Go Carol run fast and do not look back....
Gery Chico's political mentor is Ed Burke, Ann Burke just might have to recuse herself, but that won't make a difference.
We all knew that the Cook County Courts would hold for Rahm, this was also going to go the the Appellate and IL Supreme Court.
Look for Rahm to get a high profile job from Barry, Ambassador to Israel, England, France, Japan, etc.
HEY SHANKS,How ya like dem peppers?
Now if only Miguel del Valle would drop out rather than be Emanuel's "stalking horse".
I'm as mad as hell about the Chicago Way and I'm not going to take it anymore.

You really are some conspiracy theory moron, why can't you take the ruling as what it is, RIGHT!! You sound like you want that weasel in as mayor so he can take your pension you worked your whole miserable life for. Whatever happens at the Supreme court level will take care of itself, it shouldn't even go that far because thats the LAW!!!
I thank you Sweet Baby Jesus!
This is a great day in chicago, this obama crony who thought he could swindle the mayors seat from the always stupid democrats finally got what was coming to him. He really needs to be pimp slapped to death for coming here and expecting us to make him mayor. The man has no plan!! education reform!?! are you freakin kidding me! you talk about some lame made up bullshit to feed the most idiotic laughed at voters in america, wow!!

Gee who will all the white liberals vote for now!!!
Rahm and Chicao are cut from the same loin cloth. Off with their heads and vote for the others candidates.
--No Shit! One is the presidents clout and the other is the mayors.
Chico has your vote?? HE HAS NOT SAID ONE WORD ABOUT OUR PENSION!!!
Pension Plans Chico???? You better do your homework Before you vote for him. There's a reason he hasn't addressed our pension. BEWARE!

BULL. You neglect to factor in Rahn's outsized ego and total arrogance. He wants mayor and he will do anything to get it. He feels he is ENTITLED to it.
Who cares believe that the same clowns will do the machines bidding! Rahm is not part of the Irish connection! He comes from the same cloth as Blagojevich. Once the Irish get tired of Rahm, they will do him like Blago!
remember... Chico was shortshanks guy??? we are doomed!!!

He should be on the ballot. He went to work for the President of the United States. Vote him in as mayor or out as mayor. We the vote should make that decision and have that oppertunity. The judges are in Burke's pocket and he backing Chico.

---------------------------------------------------------
I don't care if he went to sit at the right hand of the throne of God for the last year! The law is the law. He did not reside in Chicago for the year prior to the election. Are the rules just for us peasants?
Plus, people keep saying the Machine will save Rahm. Isn't it obvious that Chico is the Machine's choice? Still, he's 1000x better than that little ballet dancer.
I do not like Rahm. on the ballot or not, I would not vote for him, nor in my opinion should anyone who is planning on a pension some day. Or is on one now.
That said, I do think he should be on the ballot. There is a provision in the rules which accounts for being in service of the country. regardless of whether you like his or his ex boss's politics (and I don't), he had a job that he was asked to leave by POTUS. He was asked to help POTUS run the country and agreed to do so. Yes, he could have said no, but chose, for whatever reason, to go. The chance to run for mayor comes up, he decides to give it a shot, gets penalized for deciding to work for the president. Seems unfair to me.
As to the appellate court, the two who voted him off owe their spots to Burke, as he was king of judicial slating when they came up for placement on the ballot. Burke is anti Rahm, so off the ballot he goes.
I read this blog often, and I hear about unfair and wrong decisions by judges and different courts. Lets say that one of us (PO Smith) had a case which was going in front of an appeals court with three judges. Lets further say that two of those judges were put on that panel with the blessings of a criminal enterprise like the gd's. I know, far fetched, but go with me for a minute. So PO Smith's case goes up, and the two gd judges say no go and Smith goes to jail. Would we feel that Smith got screwed, or he got a fair shake? Rahm did not get a fair shake.
That appeals process is part of due process. Due process is supposed to be about procedural fairness. This was not fair.
I'm voting for Chico anyway. Best of a bad lot.
Let's not get too excited... We all know this machine is well-oiled and can take almost anything... But celebrations for now. Let's hope it sticks!
You people are blind, this is shitcago and obamaland. Watch how fast the SC over turns this.Anyother grunt would wait three years for the SC to hear their case. This jackoff will get it there by the end of the week.
Chico for city pensions!!!
Let`s just say the ruling stays the same at the Il Supreme Ct. level. Rahm takes his campaign funds and says bye bye. The rev-runs establish an all out voter drive for the inept Carol Mostly Fraud. She beats Chico and then the rev-runs run the city. Yeah-the`ll protect your salary and pension.
Hey SCC.
Are you aware that the 006th District is still mandated to have a car sit on one of the recently deceased fireman's residence 24 hours a day?
Yes, the fireman's wife works for the Mayor.
This is placing the already short district down a car every tour, for what? Leaving more more for other officers, and endangering their lives.
How long after after our fellow policemen were murdered did we pull the car off their houses? District personnel were told this detail will not end anytime soon.

Nothing about his plans for our pensions

1/24/2011 03:53:00 PM
You are an extraordinary idiot. This is a question of law, not of the people deciding who should be the mayor. He does not meet the residency requirement by the definition written. He did not serve in the military, he served another politician to advance his own political future.
Now go get your fucking shine box.
Does anyone remember that Lampkin is the judge who released Gaston who then killed Officer Valadez?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Gery Chico YOU IN BUDDY
I'll believe it when it's official,guys Rahm is pure evil and will not take this lightly. Wait for the indictments by the "G' of anyone close to Ed Burke and eventually "Himself" and "Herself..Judge Burke". When you have access to the Dept of Justice,you can indict a ham sandwich. people are going to start turning up in trunks with this whole group of thieves.

The lead justice on this opinion was Thomas Hoffman, a former CPD detective.
There is no guarantee the Illinois Supreme Court will even agree to hear the case. In fact, it is a fact that they rarely agree to hear cases decided by the Appellate court involving city ordinance law, unless there is a gross "departure from the law", which there isn't in this situation. IF, it is heard, bear this in mind: There are 7 Illinois Supreme Court justices. Of these 7, 3are Republicans and 1 of the Democrats is none other than Anne Burke. Boys & girls, things are lookin' up!
The sad part is that Lampkin was just retained on the appelate court by 76% in the last election
Maybe there is a God afterall. Hopefully the Illinois Supreme Court agrees with the lower court and Rahm is gone.
Amen!
It appears there was no homeowners exemption filed in 2009, duh, because he was not a resident in the house.
The court ruled correctly
Judge Lampkin is a political hack. Not very bright but her dedication to the machine got her a spot on the Appellate Court. No wonder she ruled in favor of the Rahmster.
How can 2 judges read the law as it is written and one judge reads the law as they wish it should be.
Leave emotions out of the law!!
Gery Chico you got my VOTE!!!!
Thank you Jesus!
LOVE DALEY & BURKE
Sane old SHITCAGO
Appellate Justice Bertina E. Lampkin wrote a dissenting opinion.
"I disagree with the majority's contrary conclusion that the candidate is not eligible to be on the ballot because that conclusion is based on an analysis of two issues --- establishing residency and a statutory exemption to the residency requirement --- that are not relevant to the resolution of this case."
Isn't it funny that Judge Bertina Lampkin is the only one that says Rahm should stay on the ballot?? This is the same Judge Lampkin that was at 26th St. and time and time again gave probation and no probation violations to the one of the shit bags that murdered Officer Valasquez in 007. It's all legit folks.
possible agenda rather than law??
While I am Happy that the Appeals Court decided this way...
How is Chico any better?
-------------------------------------
The answer is simple. Chico hasn't vowed to go after our pensions. That's how he's better.
The new leader is CAROL!!!!!!
Carol For Chicago...
she either cant pay her own bills/// makes 16thou a year and has over a million dollars in mortgages, or is a really good tax cheat... you gotta be kidding...where do you see any leadership on her part...
Don't jump the gun sir/mam do your homework on Chico, looks can be decieving

TV reporting now that THE PRESSES ARE ROLLING -- the Board of Elections cannot wait any longer. Here come 2 million ballots without Emanuel's name on them!
-----------------------------------
Perfect timing by the jurists. I'm sure the union guys who print the ballots will be churning those babies out like there's no tomorrow to support Rahm "Fuck the UAW Emanuel."
KEEP THE PRESSES ROLLING BOYS!
Rahm's political ambitions.
If a person gives up the Chief of Staff job in Washington in return for the possibility of becoming a mayor, well I think that person is running for personal political gain and not to represent the people as a public servant.
Seriously, if he was so attached to Chicago he should of held onto his congress job. But no, he quit that...then he quit on Washington..and now wants to be mayor. What job does he really want?
Do you want a quitter as mayor? The man seems to be in it only for the money to me and we have too much of that in this city and in this country already!
You see how well it's working for us?
guys...LOOK... chico was daley's chief of staff!! Come on! THINK before you "daa... im gonna vote for dat der chico feller" I don't have all the answers, but I KNOW chico isn't it...
1/24/2011 04:57:00 PM

because he's not:
rahmbo
carol mostly fraud
tic toc doc walls
or the other knuckleheads
For everyone who keeps saying that Obama has Rahm's back might be mistaken. He was o the outs with the president and was looking for a way to get out before he was fired. So this is the way to go. I really don't believe that they will pull strings for him. He is on his own. ANd he has too much baggage in D.C.

Pension Plans Chico???? You better do your homework Before you vote for him. There's a reason he hasn't addressed our pension. BEWARE!
1/24/2011 07:07:00 PM
===================================
I have personally seen him talk 3 different times about our pensions and he has given an answer. He has ALWAYS said that we are entitled to them and the city should fund them. He also said we need to a positive source of revenue for are money & use TIF funds to help shore it up. And thats for the police & firemen
Rahm is always saying that he loves Chicago and it's citizens soooooo much maybe just maybe he will donate his 14 million dollar campaign war chest to the city?
Maybe Mayor Daley will replace him
remember... Chico was shortshanks guy??? we are doomed!!!
1/24/2011 07:20:00 PM
******
Honestly, they are ALL shortshanks guys/gals. It matters not to him or Burke which one gets elected, it will be business as usual for SS and the gang. WE might have it a bit better, along with the regular citizens if Chico gets it but that is it.
DelValle is a total shortshanks guy and whats her name, well another machine politician who didn't get reelected because somebody better came along.. I would pick Chico as the least evil of an all evil (or just plain dumb) field of candidates..
Chico at least seems to have a bit of intelligence about him, but his stance on illegal immigrants is even worse than Rahms... so, in general, he won't make anything better, the only thing he has is that he said he won't mess with the pensions...
"guys...LOOK... chico was daley's chief of staff!! Come on! THINK before you "daa... im gonna vote for dat der chico feller" I don't have all the answers, but I KNOW chico isn't it..."
Well, who IS the answer FUCKTARD? Riddle me that batman. Which one of these fine fucking pieces of shit IS the answer? They're ALL fucking crooked. I once worked for a SGT who liked to say, "you KNEW it was a snake when it was laying on the ground, did you have to pick it up and get bit to know it was a snake?"
Rahm is a fucking SNAKE. Chico may not be the answer, but at least his answer thus far, and that is all we have to go by, is that he will not fuck with out pensions. The 3 finger finger fucker is ON THE RECORD as saying active members will take a hit on pensions. Get your head out of your ass son. Better yet, keep it there. We'll carry the water for you clown!

While you may be well intentioned, I really don't need your post. I can't speak for my friend, the legendary John Farrell, but I think he would agree. You have again raised the Sword of Damocles over my head.
We do well on legit tests (ACT, SAT, IQ, etc.). So what! Officers should be evaluated on their performance in the streets. Period.
I have a good idea who you are, fellow detective classmate now retired. Since I don't have your eMail address, you can contact me at cpdfop7@yahoo.com
Otherwise, all I can add is that Tom Hoffman was honorable, brilliant and a really good guy. He worked midnights in Area 6 Auto Theft while going to law school and left the CPD for greener pastures after the CPD paid for his education. He later became an Appelate Justice for the 1st District. If you check his record, he is widely respected by other jurists and members of the bar. God bless him.
Meanwhile, gimme a break. I don't need this shit. However, in retirement, I do have a healthy case of "don't give a fuck".
Based on indisputable facts, I totally agree with Justice Hoffman's plurality decision.
The law is clear. It was put into law in the late 1800's. You must be a resident. For all the people who don't under stand (the machine ) you must be physically living here. If they rule for him then the law doesn't mean ship.

Beautiful. Judge Hoffman should get nominated for the next opening on the IL Supreme Court after saving us from being terrorized by Rambo.
Keep the faith that the Illinois Supreme Court doesn't overturn the decision. The lame stream media at the Scum Times is barking like a little ankle biter about the decision.
Didn't send ny ballot back to FOP. I don't care who wins. What happened to the Republican candidate? Oh that's right they lost his 40,000 petitions and now its too late to put him on the ballot.
"Rahm Off The Ballot?!"
---
That just made my day! After I heard the news my day was just fine! An arrogant fuck like Emanuel take one in the ass, oh baby that was good!
The best news I've heard in a long time.
Chico is the best choice even with Rham on the ballot. but the sheeple will be sheeple
I heard chico on thr Roe Cahn show yesterday. He was asked about the pensions and he never said he wouldn't cut our pennsions, He said that the city would have to nogatiate with the unions to come up with a payment that the city was able to come uo with. Never trust a a chicago Dem.
Although I believe the Il Sup. Court will reverse the decision - it makes me wretch when Rahm says he was serving the government. I think he had a choice as to whether or not he would serve the President - DO NOT COMPARE yourself to one of our servicemen/women.
Carol from our police family
Will Rahm reduce the judge"s pension?

Hey Mr. Rocket Scientist: Mayoral and Aldermaninc elections in Chicago are "non-partisan." If you can't find a dictionary on-line, that means no party affiliation. Candidates just run and the winner has to garner 50% + 1 to win. You have now doubled your knowledge base.

And your answer to this dilemma? Carol I can't pay my bills, perhaps?
If Chico wins, we may as well change the name of the city to Chic"O"go-that is how it will be pronounced anyway by all of the non English speaking citizens.
Welcome to Chicogo !
I would like to see Rahm on the ballot and then LOSE!
I have a question. Was it ever asked by the Election Board or the Court?
One news clip showed that Rahm filed a Federal Income Tax Return using a Washington D.C. address.
Then later he filed an AMENDED RETURN showing a Chicago address.
Did he ever, and did he do it on time, file an ILLINOIS INCOME TAX RETURN?
Just curious.
P.S. Did anyone get a Christmas card from the Obamas?
Were there any pictures of Christmas celebrations published?
Several newscasts, including George Stephanopoulos, said when the President left Washington for the holiday he was going to his “home state of Hawaii.”
Again, I am just curious.
Hello, MR. CHICO!!!!
Imagine all those big time law firms that sent Rahm a bribe, ooops, I mean a campaign donation.
Now they dont know whom to bribe. Life just isn't fair.
wouldn't it be funny if Rahm was off the ballot and still managed to win the election. That would be the Chicago way. The fix was in but they couldn't' 'unfix' it in time.
anything that makes Daley's little heart pound and flutter and causes him indigestion, is ok with me !

What did he get paid for that SERVICE??
For all the people who allegedly loved the Rahmfather, the comments that I read elsewhere are overwhelmingly in favor of him having been kicked off the ballot.
The Illinois Supreme Court should go out, buy a few lattes, then issue a one line statement at days end that they see no reason to hear the case.

You know, seeing someone like Rahm Emanuel not get what he wants for the first time in his life is almost better -- it's such a rare event, about as likely as seeing a passenger pigeon fly past.
Oh, to be the fly on the wall -- he has gotta be shrieking and smashing telephones and tearing his hair out. The guy is a loud, abrasive, foul-mouthed, sharp-elbowed, overbearing monster from all accounts-- just not on camera.
The Illinois Supreme Court does not have to take an appeal, they could deny Rahm's application and that would be all she wrote. Also, the Illinois Supremes have the wife of one of Rahm's biggest political foes-Anne Burke.
Poor, poor Rahm. What will he do with his $12,000,000?
1/24/2011 02:06:00 PM
------------
absolutely correct
Sometimes, by law, we are guaranteed an appeal, and Rahm got his. I don't know if he was guaranteed that appeal, but he got it. We are never guaranteed a look by the Supreme Court. We'll see.
DEE-AMN! He's back on, but it ain't over yet! Lord willing, Rahm will still be sent packing by the Illinois Supreme Court!
Follow the money trail.
Stop doing business with the businesses that are empowering the evil doers with campaign contributions.
I mean really, think about it.
If someone in California or anywhere other than Illinois donates a few million to a Chicago candidate are they doing so to support the best candidate for the people? Or are they doing the exact opposite in the hopes that Illinois falls apart in which case California doesn't look so bad and may benefit with jobs leaving Illinois for example.
Follow the money trail.
We need to break this corporate lobbyist-political connection.
Until we do government will represent what is best for corporations and not for individuals and the corporate interest are not always congruent with the middle class taxpayers.
Otherwise, all I can add is that Tom Hoffman was honorable, brilliant and a really good guy. He worked midnights in Area 6 Auto Theft while going to law school and left the CPD for greener pastures after the CPD paid for his education
