Rahm objects to family's lives being interrupted to fly to Chicago to prove they live in Chicago. [View All]

Today, some administrative matters were dealt with in the residency challenge to Rahm Emanuel’s bid for Mayor of Chicago.

Tomorrow, at 9am here in Chicago, Emanuel will have to answer questions from something like 70 objectors to his Mayoral bid, most of whom are oddballs and grandstanders, but with a few top lawyers who know their stuff as well...

I’ve been told the deck is stacked in favor of Emanuel at the hearing tomorrow, which I am going to try to go to, to take all of this in, in person.

BUT, at preliminary hearings last week the objectors to Emanuel’s candidacy brought up the fact that Emanuel was objecting to his wife, Amy Rule, and children having to fly to Chicago from DC, where they live and where the kids go to school, to testify whether or not the family really lives in Chicago.

Since the rich & their errand boys own the world, they live anywhere they goddamn say they do. That was a quick decision:

CHICAGO — Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel can run for Chicago mayor although he spent much of the last two years living in Washington while working for President Barack Obama, the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners ruled Thursday.
