No more than three days after an appeals court ruled that former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel wasn't legally eligible to run for mayor of Chicago, the Illinois Supreme Court unanimously reversed the lower court's decision. The reversal, which is a rarity, proves just how deep the Chicago Political Machine's reach goes when it comes to controlling the state. This isn't surprising, but it's unsettling to know that a politburo of liberal ideologues control the state of Illinois, rendering the democratic process of voting meaningless.
