Chicago's strict residential law clearly states the anyone running for Chicago public office must have a physical presence as a resident within the city limits for 1 year prior to having their name placed on the ballot for an election.
The IL Supreme Court decision is shaping up to be an election nightmare, just like the 2000 Presidential election of Bush vs. Gore, when the Florida Supreme Court order a continuation of the recount be on the state law of 30 day requirement to submit election results.
By ordering Emanuel’s name on the ballot, the IL Supreme Court over ruled the law, which they cannot do. They can only strike down the law or uphold it.
US Supreme Court, here they come.
--------------------------------Update (with Video)-----------------------------
Large protest in Chicago last night after the appellate court rules Emanuel can not run on the ballot.
The last guy in this video GETS IT!
The rest seem to be OK that laws are OK to break!
