HT Second City Cop
Here's the news, just in.
Early voting begins Jan. 31.
This will, of course, be fast-tracked to the Illinois Supreme Court.
If he loses there, be assured he will venue-shop at the Federal level. But, can any Federal judge realistically claim jurisdiction over a city election?
But then again, they've claimed jurisdiction over school districting for over forty years now...
Rahmbo can't claim it's about civil rights. His opponents include a Black Woman(check!), a black Hispanic guy(check!), and a white Hispanic guy(check!).
This could get interesting. What's he gonna do with alllll that money he's extorted--I mean gathered--for his mayoral candidacy?
The real issue is: Is Rahmbo a Chicago resident? Or is Chicago his own Rotten Borough?
The guy renting his house has an opinion:
Emanuel, a former North Side congressman, had served Obama in Washington from January 2009 until October. When he left for the White House, Emanuel rented his North Side home to Rob Halpin.
Halpin refused to move out when Emanuel returned to Chicago and briefly staged his own run for mayor.
Halpin applauded the ruling. “Now I feel vindicated by the court,” Halpin told WGN-AM radio.
Residency, Halpin said, is “one of the rights that goes with the rent payment.”
Halpin said “it’s very clear that only one resident” could be attached to a single residence, “unless it was some sort of hippie commune.”
(The wheels on the bus are coming off, coming off, coming off...)
