Election Day Coming
And time for that SCC tradition!
- Every single judge on the ballot gets a NO vote
We've been pushing this for years, on and off the job. The last time any sitting judge got dumped was when Passarella was removed for his handling of the Officer Touhy case and two others failed to get the required 60% threshold following the Greylord scandal. In each case, all fell a mere 3-to-4% below retention. That in itself gives you an idea of the difficulty of removing any judge, even those tainted by corruption.
There's hardly a cop on the job now who remembers Greylord. The length and breadth of the corruption was astounding. Ninety-three court employees were indicted including:
There's hardly a cop on the job now who remembers Greylord. The length and breadth of the corruption was astounding. Ninety-three court employees were indicted including:
- 17 judges (15 convicted)
- 48 lawyers
- 10 sheriff deputies
- 8 cops
- 1 state legislator
It was often said that if the feds had left the wires up, they would have gotten every single judge in Cook County along with a few aldercreatures, and Chicago would still have been the most corrupt city in America. And since that time, when we reached voting age, we have voted "No" for almost every single judge whenever they appeared on the ballot. Those we didn't vote "No" on, we left blank and we can count those judges on one hand with fingers left over.
If you want change, you vote for change. Vote out incumbents and vote out judges is a good start.

EARLY VOTING begins this morning, October 24th in all fifty wards, generally at a local library.
VOTE TRUMP and GOP!
Yeah...
Kinda like when the Feds took down the
Blagojevich "This Fucking Thing Is Golden"
wire because "you know who" was snagged
on an intercept and it would have been
"ticklish" for the hope & change crowd
to explain "you know who" sitting in the
witness chair giving grudging testimony
in Blago's defense.
It would have entertaining to say the least.
In addition to being a soothing balm and
counter-point to the local narration of
The Police being what's wrong with Chicago...
There is no reason a cop shouldn't vote. There is at least 1 early voting place in every district you can go to during the tour. So you actually have at least 2 whole weeks where you can go and vote.
Please Vote NO!!! on EVERY Judge.
The only way they might even consider policing and cleaning up their own judgeships is if they feel THEIR judgeship is threatened.
Don't like the stupid, senile judge in section whatever?
Wonder why his fellow judges don't get him booted?
They don't want to rock the boat.
They are willing to let him screw up other people's lives, because you might hate him, but you support his colleagues with your votes.
STOP! Vote them out too!
They may hang on, but if they know EVERYONE is vulnerable, they will get rid of the incompetents in the hope you start supporting the competent.
Make the Judges Accountable!
Find a sample ballot.
Google the politicians and pick the least bad one.
Anyone that says they support social justice, black lives matter, and the like is a BAD candidate.
Take an hour to look at the candidates. Share what you learn with your family and friends.
Vote against anyone with a D after their name.
Slow down. Peggy Chiampas and Judge Kazmierski are good judges. My arrest of an 008th district homicide offender-stranger carjacks and murders a women at Ford City Mall, abducts her children and I get him in 011-results in death penalty by Kazmierski. Lets see you're typical "party politician judge" impose that! Now if only Ben Adamowski had beat Daley we might still have a city...
I'd vote for Judge Chevere. Pull your pants up and speak clearly. They booted her out of Br.23 for being too business like. OK, c'mon guys, flame me because I don't know shit.
Pardon the spelling but maybe give Peggy Chiampas and Adam Bourgious Jr a "yes" vote. They seem to get it. NO for everyone else, including Rhonda Crawford, who is charged with a felony for false impersonation and official misconduct.
Burke and the Democratic machine has there hooks in almost all the judges on the bench. There are no independent judges. Unless you've dealt with a judge and know they're fair minded then vote NO on all the rest. A good judge doesn't have to find everyone guilty. There is no shortage of shit arrests that deserve NPC or an occasional not guilty.
There was a judge that always found people not guilty in traffic court and this was way after greylord. He was not on the take, he simply ruled for the defendant. On the flipside this judge always treated the police officer with resoect. He would ask if a continuance date worked for you, and he never disparaged the arresting officer in his ruling. That is the definition of a classy judge.
Voting formula for firing incumbents:
1. Indentify targeted Incumbent by name.
2. Locate targeted Incumbent name on ballot.
3. IF targeted Incumbent name is listed FIRST, vote for whichever candidate is listed LAST.
OR
4. IF targeted Incumbent name is NOT listed FIRST, vote for whichever candidate IS listed FIRST.
If sufficient quantity of voters cast their vote using this formula, targeted Incumbent will lose.
Even if targeted Incumbent does not lose, if significant number of voters cast their votes using this formula, evidence of effectiveness will appear in published vote totals.
The common political creatures will either never notice the use and effect of this formula or will dismiss/disregard it as unlikely to be utilized by any sufficient number of voters.
Like Bob, they will never see it coming.
The smaller the total votes cast, in any given political contest, the more effective a determined use of this formula will be.
Only incumbents with 0 opponents are immune.
And targeted Incumbents with multiple opponents are as fucked as if having only one opponent on the ballot.

I agree SCC, straight republican and no on every judge. Every election when I say this somebody makes a pretty compelling case that judge X, Y or Z deserves a fair shake and are friends of the police or other first responders, and they're no doubt right, but why take the chance?
Nothing will change. Those assholes will all be re elected, Evans will continue to hand out assignments based on patronage, and nothing will change. That simple sentence explains why this City, County and State and now the country is headed the same way. Thats politics baby.
"There's hardly a cop on the job now who remembers Greylord..."
...and Judge Brocton "Brock" Lockwood whom I believe came up here from downstate as the muscle. Actually had a beer with him down by Rush Street once; we found out what he was up to later on!
True and the leftist media is trying to influence turnout by saying Donald Trump the only person standing up for the police and saving this country from totally imploding is losing. Like in Britain with the brexit vote where all the dishonest media and liberals said it would not pass and it passed overwhelmingly letting that country able to go back to the people. Britain was tired of that country being taken over by illegal invaders and they finally stopped it. Was in Poland recently for a trip beautiful they don't give illegals anything they pass through and ruin other countries bringing with them the third world diseases and massive crime waves. Are going to "make America great again" or allow it to fall into the abyss? Don't forget it is not just 4 years but the Supreme Court changes for the next 60 years which will change your children's lives in a declining way! Time for us to vote and vote in huge numbers! God bless the USA!
I totally agree, except for one Judge. Peggy Chiampas. She's supported the police forever, and deserves retention.
Really? Vote no to Peggy Chiampas? Megan Goldish? Vince Gaughan? Just because you have a hard on for the system? SMH...
My partner and I got involved in Greylord. They were looking to get into the Old Gun Court at 11th and State. We obliged them and were completely legit. Got called down to the Federal Building once about the case and that was it.
Stay Safe.
old retired guy
Become a member of DRIP. Don't Re elect Incumbent Politicians.
Thanks for the names of the GOOD judges...anyone else who's got one please add.
Got to make a list..( yeah, yeah...I KNOW it will be SHORT ! )
Ed and Anne Burke should be in jail for taking bribes!
I'd vote "yes" for peggy chiampas, michael mchale, and gloria chevere. We need more judges like them.
Vote wisely please.
I'll give you an amen to voting out the judges. It's a tradition I've been upholding since 1978. Before me, my old man had been doing it since 1948. So, no sense in changing now. It's not as if they've become less corrupt.
Use your fucking head for common sense and not for wearing your baseball caps backwards. Vote out every judge on the ballot.
They are for the most poor incompetent morons, no smarted than police officers. Vote for everyone that has an R before or after their name. Take back our country from the crooks and thieves. Hillary Clinton must not be elected to the highest office in the land. She is part of an evil cabal.
Hold on there "W@illis" Peggy Chiampas and Adam Bourgious Jr are two of the best Judges working in that joint. So they should get a yes vote.
Early voted two weeks ago - clicked "no" so much I thought my finger would break.
--No Cop Here
Hey SCC-Check out 3dayscount at projects.pretrial.org This is a pretrial release initiative the Illinois Supreme Court has joined and is about to announce. Program wants to get rid of "discriminatory money bail" after arrests and "reduce unnecessary arrests that destabilize families and communities"
I am voting NO for every judge up for retention.
Why?
Last year the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that the medical benefits for retired judges could not be diminished. This year the judges have ruled that the medical benefits for retired police officers can be eliminated.
Hypocrisy?
YES!
"VOTE TRUMP and GOP!"
10/24/2016 12:10:00 AM
Amen. I am surprised that Donald didn't let fly with "Both of the Clintons have already had their turn walking the halls of the White House."
I did like it when Newt Gingrich nailed Bill, Hillary, and their "foundation" as an "organized criminal conspiracy," though.

There is no bottom to all of this...
Clinton ultra-loyalist gave $500,000 to campaign of wife of FBI deputy director who oversaw probe into Hillary's emails
* Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe has been a long-time friend and backer of Hillary Clinton
* The PAC he controls gave $467,500 to the 2015 state Senate campaign of Dr. Jill McCabe in a drive to win control of the chamber
*McCabe's spouse, Andrew McCabe, later took on a job as the deputy director of the FBI
* In February McCabe became deputy FBI director, getting promoted from the Number Three job

Please a Big No on Judge James Brown. Hates the police.
Early voting started today went to vote nice line of people the only word heard at my polling place was "I'm voting for Trump" could it be we are finally getting away from the "rigged" system? When Trump wins with his positive feelings for "law and order" and saying "we love the police" bet when he takes that office if police are attacked by thugs he would make sure federal charges are sought and these animals are locked up! Make sure you vote and get everyone you know to vote Trump this sinking ship needs to be kept afloat!
VOTE!
VOTE Like your lives depend on it!
Because they do.
Hillary Clinton supports Black Lives Matter.
Democrats support Black Lives Matter.
The Democrat DOJ supports Black Lives Matter.
Choose wisely, your Freedom depends on it. VOTE!!!
Just voted today and voted NO! on all retentions. Fuck em.
Did the very same thing at Mount Greenwood today 'bad people' with opposition left blank and judge genocide. Quite fun.
Don't forget about the Greylord Judge who blew his brains out in the locker room of the East Bank Club.
Election time hows this headline in rahms chiraq?:
CPS plans to borrow as much as $840 million for school construction
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-school-borrowing-budget-plan-met-20161025-story.html
The article says it is for politics! Lets see rahm closes 58 schools enrollment declining now lets build more! is this again the family and friends program? Ahh mayor the police pension is not shored up so your going to put taxpayers on the hook again! You already skyrocketed property taxes! Guess this is the democratic way, praying for a huge Trump victory and Trump promises to remove the hundreds of millions in taxpayers money given to sanctuary cities like Chicago that want all the illegal invaders here, so the elected can keep pocketing millions!
2 words for this city "forensic audit" lets march the thieves off to prison!
any person that works or college student that plans on a successful career must vote straight republican
nothing is free or reasonable for the working man
no free college , no free health insurance for you
want your daughter raped by refugees , illegals , blm groups if so vote democratic
it is not a scare , democrats investigated police officers , neighborhood watch for using self defense after being attacked by criminals
Already voted and it was all NO.
Done. Absentee mailed in. Supported those who support LEO's. Voted no on every judge. Republican up and down the ballot.
Well I voted yes on only 4 judges. And thats ONLY because I personally know them away from the job.
EVERYONE else got a NO for retention.
All no except for Peg Chiampas and Gloria Chevere (sp)
Worst 26th street judges are Hooks, Claps, Howard, Obbish and Wilson. They all have a liberal agenda. They all frequently make findings that police officers are not credible in their testimony and make findings of not guilty based on that. Then the police get a lawsuit filed against them.
Judge Mary Ellen Coughlin was very helpful to me today
Greylord. Does anyone remember the Trunzo brothers, who were assigned to Traffic Court. They had the biggest pinkie rings I ever saw.
Patrick Murphy in Bridgeview BIG NO
This guy cannot make a decision to save his life.
Raked a lot of coppers over the coals.
Divorces that are no brainers take him years to finish.
Attorney's win, as usual
Should have voted through the mail, all done don't have to
deal with the bullshit on Tuesday.
Take your time !! There are a lot of good judges on the ballot for retention.
some of these guy's and gal's we want retained. Need all pro police we can get
now days.
A couple observations - We should vote for the few pro police judges out there like Chiampas and Gaughn. Praising their rulings is a nice gesture but voting for them is more productive. Some of the ridiculous candidates like the pretend judge who was recently indicted are running in judicial sub circuits, so don't go nuts trying to locate her on your ballot.
Retired .38 spl +P
12:54am, Bourgeois isn't on the ballot.
Hello to all my friends who wear the BLUE.
Thank you so much for all of your positive comments. It was pleasure working with all of you. I started working for the School Sisters of Notre Dame at St. Michael's High School when I was only 14 years old. Last month I turned 64 years of age. The math here is simple. I've been working non-stop for the last 50 years! So I decided to retire.
But without a doubt, the last 10 years of my legal career were, by far, the most rewarding. Being able to finish my career as a judge was a true blessing. Thanks in large part to the unwavering support from the men and women of the Chicago Police Department especially when the press came after me when I had to run for retention in 2012. Thank you all and may God bless you and keep you safe and sound.
Fraternally yours, Judge Gloria Chevere (Retired)
Any vote for a democratic state rep or senator is a vote for Madigan. And the FOP endorsed democratic reps and senators. By voting for these slugs you only feed their greedy machine and they use your tax dollars to screw us. ♠️
Sorry but Peggy Chiampas has a record worth retaining,
Only pro-police Judge imo.
Otherwise, dump 'em all
Big No for #305 Judge Daniel J. Gallagher...
What about Nick Ford. Very Pro Police judge, worth keeping. But Leroy Martin Jr? Uh, I don't think so.

Nick Ford is a great judge down at 26th street. Criminal Court. Has nothing to do with retirees insurance.

The governor wants your pension turned into a 401K. If you were paying attention a couple of weeks ago the COLA bill was vetoed by the Gov. If we over ride that veto it will be because Madigan helps us.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Or at least for now. That unless you do not want a COLA?
Are we going to work 12 hours tour of duty on election day as we did for the World Series ?
