The key is that Quinn's pick does not automatically lose office at the end of the current term. Of course they do, the term is going to EXPIRE.

With respect, read the express language of the Illinois constitution that I cited. A term of office is not inherently finite. The term holds over until a successor qualifies. It does not just “expire”.
That said, there are a lot of good policy and political reasons to let the appointment go to Rauner or to appoint a consensus caretaker.

Bottom line, if they try to steal this office be taking advantage of vague wording and a bizarre situation, they must be fought. Not acceptable.
