Rob Emanuel is appealing to the IL Supreme court. I wonder how back logged the court is? The it sounded like to me....like he only had 30 days to get his name on the ballot.
State Courts can take 30 days to decide what they are going to have for lunch.
But being IL....I suspect the case to be "fast tracked",
leigh2154: JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TT, that would feed me for a week!!!
It was a state diner...we could have slain a buffalo for him....and made dried jerkie for him....and asked Hu's wife to soften the dried meat by jewing on it....but I guess that.... would not have met the White House approval......

It would be funny if he couldn't run. They really don't need another Chicago "hack" there.

Jan. 18: Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, speaks after accepting delivery of signed petitions demanding the repeal of 'ObamaCare' in Washington. PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Six more states joined a lawsuit in Florida against President Obama's health care overhaul on Tuesday, meaning more than half of the country is challenging the law.
The announcement was made as House members in Washington, led by Republicans, debated whether to repeal the law.
The six additional states joined Florida and 19 others in the legal action, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
"It sends a strong message that more than half of the states consider the health care law unconstitutional and are willing to fight it in court," she said in a statement.
The states claim the health care law is unconstitutional and violates people's rights by forcing them to buy health insurance by 2014 or face penalties.
Government attorneys have said the states do not have standing to challenge the law and want the case dismissed.
Lawsuits have been filed elsewhere. A federal judge in Virginia ruled in December that the insurance-purchase mandate was unconstitutional, though two other federal judges have upheld the requirement. It's expected the Supreme Court will ultimately have to resolve the issue.
"It is important to note that two of the three courts that have reviewed this law on the merits have found it constitutional, and those decisions --as well as two others the government prevailed on -- are pending in courts of appeal. At the same time, trial courts in additional cases have dismissed numerous challenges on jurisdictional and other grounds that have not been appealed," Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said.
Meanwhile, the White House dismissed an expected vote on repealing the law, saying the Republicans' push was not a serious legislative effort. Democrats have a majority in the Senate and they have said they will block repeal in that chamber.
In the Florida case, the states also argue the federal government is violating the Constitution by forcing a mandate on the states without providing money to pay for it. They say the new law gives the state's the impossible choice of accepting the new costs or forfeiting federal Medicaid funding.
Florida U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson could rule later this month whether he will grant a summary judgment in favor of the states or the Obama administration without a trial.
Florida's former Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum filed the lawsuit just minutes after President Obama signed the 10-year, $938 billion health care bill into law in March. He chose a court in Pensacola, one of Florida's most conservative cities. The nation's most influential small business lobby, the National Federation of Independent Business, also joined the suit.
Joining the coalition in the Florida case were: Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Ohio, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The other states that are suing are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington.
There is a FAA proposal out to make airspace over American cities open for law enforcement UAVs.
Now you got understand.....they cannot build a fence along the border.....and have a very limited number of UAVs flying it. Now they want to have the airspace over the US cities opened for UAVs?
Why not stop the drugs at the border....instead of the cites?
Oh I know. With the cities buying UAVs....there is much bigger market for than the border.

A very popular found for drug and medical progroms...the Global Fund....is 143m short on a audit. But only several 3rd world countries were audited with 53 more to go.
The fund is managed by the UNDP. The fund takes donations from Bill Gates, Bono....and other wealthy....but also American tax dollars. that then buys aids medicines and other other drugs for 3rd world distribution.
The potential is for billions to have been lost to corruption and to mismanagement.
The Dr discussing it...'said it potentially is the worse corruption of theft of fund for in a decade."
