Well, using that logic, today the Illinois Supreme Court selected Rahm Emanuel as the new Mayor of Chicago:
Rahm Emanuel can run for mayor, the Illinois Supreme Court has ruled.ExJon on Twitter adds this:
In a 7 to 0 decision, the court Thursday said an appellate court erred in taking Emanuel off the ballot earlier in the week.
The decision means Emanuel holds onto his position as the first name on the ballot in the Feb. 22 election. Emanuel has been leading in both the polls and fund-raising in the race that includes candidates Carol Moseley Braun, Gery Chico and Miguel del Valle. Patricia Van Pelt Watkins and William “Dock” Walls are also on the ballot.
Not to jump to conclusions, but I'm beginning to think Chicago's political machine has dubious ethics.Um...yeah.

The result of the Supreme’s decision isn’t necessarily wrong; it, too, seems rational and fair. It’s reasoning, however, crafts certainty out of thin air. It belittles the problem, seemingly out of pique. The problems with the underlying law in Chicago and the court’s own precedent it simply pixie dusted away, a means to an end that the concurring justices gently chided them about.
