Not a final decision - just granted the stay.

...and a Supreme Court bought & paid for.

Rahm should be thanking a certain magic negro.

[JewishRighter]

Now all they have to do is drag their feet until the election and Oooops! he was still on the ballot and got elected and they wouldn’t want to overrule the will of the people, now would they? /sarc

[Lazamataz]

GUARANTEED this guy is on the ballot. GUARANTEED he wins the Mayor position, whether or not he wins.

A First Amendment challenge? Why not the Commerce Clause?

This banana republic just to the South just keeps doing all it can to get people and business to “Escape to Wisconsin”

Which is kind of interesting, because if the ballots are printed with his name on them, and he loses all the appeals, then his name will still be on the ballot but he can’t be elected. So I wonder how they will handle that? If they don’t modify the ballots, some, perhaps many, democratic votes might be wasted by voters selecting him even though he can’t be elected.

First Amendment question???

[ReneeLynn]

It’s the Chicago way. Who is surprised?

[MortMan]

There is no longer any rule of law, apparently.

[Cicero]

It’s very unlikely that SCOTUS would accept the case. They have refused to do so in several similar cases, including the NJ senate race where the Democrats cheated in 2000 and the recent race in Alaska where Murkowski supporters cheated.

I think it all boils down to this: What does the Chicago Mafia want? It seems unlikely that the appellate court would have found against Rahm unless Daley and the Machine approved. And although Obama says he supports Rahm, some have their doubts.

Well, it’s up to the Illinois Supreme Court, IMHO.

He is “deemed” on the ballot.

What a friggin’ show...

[Texas4ever]

What does that mean? Should I contribute to Mosley Braun?

I am really beginning to hate politics.....arrrggggh!!

I dont think I can take tonight, why oh why are they all sitting together?

[NormsRevenge]

He’s entitled to running, yaknow.. doesn’t matter what the law says..

Heck, dead folk are gonna write him in overwhelmingly anyway. ;-)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

There is no way that Dead Fish won't be on the ballot, and won't be Chicago's next mayor.

Chicago is totally corrupt.

[Tijeras_Slim]

If he can’t weasel his way back on the ballot, he isn’t corrupt enough to be the Mayor of Chicago.
