It’s a good thing they didn’t waste too much time on deliberations.

Well, that didn’t last long.

NBC Chicago is reporting:

“The Illinois Supreme Court has granted Rahm Emanuel’s stay. Which means he’s back on the ballot.”

“Earlier today Emanuel’s spokesman Ben Labolt said the mayoral candidate had plans to turn to the U.S. Supreme Court if he didn’t receive a favorable ruling from the state.”

What? Did you think the law would actually be followed?

NBC Chicago is also reporting: “Rahm says he talked to the president about his predicament.”

Asked about the discussion, Emanuel said, “I’m discreet about conversations. It was a very good conversation.”
