Illinois Supreme Court says Emanuel can stay on ballot

At least until they decide his case…..

The Illinois Supreme Court has ordered the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners to put Rahm Emanuel’s name back on the mayoral ballot.

The court has not decided whether to hear Emanuel’s appeal of Monday’s Illinois Appellate Court ruling that tossed him out of the race to replace Mayor Daley. But the Supreme Court granted Emanuel’s motion for a stay of the ruling.

“The appellate court decision is stayed,’’ the Supreme Court’s order reads. “The Board of Elections is directed that if any ballots are printed while this Court is considering this case, the ballots should include the name of petitioner Rahm Emanuel as a candidate for Mayor of the City of Chicago.’’ — Supreme Court: Emanuel stays on ballot while his case is considered – Chicago Sun-Times

Now unlike some Blogs on the right; I am not going to sit here and carp about how this shows corruption or anything like that. If the man is legally allowed, then let the man run. If not, then he should be removed. Hopefully something becomes of it and the law is upheld.
