Illinois High Court: Emanuel Can Run for Chicago Mayor
Illinois' highest court put Rahm Emanuel back in the race for Chicago mayor Thursday, three days after a lower court threw the former White House chief of staff off the ballot because he had not lived in the city for a full year.
The state Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Emanuel's favor, saying an appeals court decision that said the candidate needed to be physically present in Chicago was "without any foundation in Illinois law."
"As I said from the beginning, I think the voters deserve the right to make the choice of who should be mayor," Emanuel said shortly after getting word of the high court's action. "I'm not quite sure emotionally where I'm at.
I think one of the more interesting outcomes of the Obama presidency is discovering just how corrupt and dirty Illinois politics is -- Chicago especially. From Obama's dirty tricks with Ryan to get him into the Senate through the election to this.
