Avy keeps it positive. He would never ask about her bar ratings or this incident. He would inquire about her background as a R.N. and, of course, go over the boundaries of the 1st subcircuit.

Really? Crawford worked in the Markham Courthouse for a long time and we ALL knew she was a law clerk. We ALL knew and celebrated her primary victory in March; and we ALL knew her general election was in November; and we ALL knew she would not be sworn in until December.

OTOH, Judge Ahmad was appointed to a 1st Subcircuit vacancy, filed for said vacancy, faced opposition there (she lost, remember?) including a challenge to her nominating petitions. Her declaration to run as a write-in was challenged, too. I'm pretty certain that the lawyers who've tried to knock Ahmad off the March ballot or tried to keep write-in votes from being counted in her favor have examined whether there is a residency argument to make. So I'll answer your questions as follows: (1) Yeah, I'm pretty sure she does; (2) it was.Jack Leyhanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884163579967286888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24546933.post-64735584025619857572016-10-23T17:29:11.692-05:002016-10-23T17:29:11.692-05:00Ms. Crawford and her lawyer may think that the def...Ms. Crawford and her lawyer may think that the default election will improve her situation but it won't. The Supreme Court will not stand for her being sworn in and will probably pull her license as well, The indictment is unjust but that and what the Supremes do have no connection and each will proceed independent of the other.

Turner stepped away from her bench, allowed Crawford to sit down, hear cases, and stood right over her. Now Judge Turner is on medical leave? Getting paid to sit at home and watch Price is Right while Crawford is left to twist in the wind? I have no idea what the sanctions should be, however, it seems to me that Judge Turner should be equally if not more severely punished than Crawford. To be honest, I hope Crawford skates with a slap on the wrist and Turner gets booted off the bench. But it looks like that is not going to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24546933.post-48124929162686826262016-10-23T10:21:20.251-05:002016-10-23T10:21:20.251-05:00Does ahmad even live in the 1st subcircuit?

She just wants to be able to win the election so that she can argue that suspending her license and preventing her from sitting as a judge would interfere with "the will of the people." Because she is in the 1st subcircuit and being represented by a particular lawyer, we can rest assured that this will become racially-charged similar to the Jackie Robinson West scandal. Her lawyer is the same guy who tried to make that situation about race rather than about cheating. Anyone with any sense and spine will push back and suspend her license for six months and prevent her from sitting for the bar, and then call it a day. Voters are so clueless that they will probably elect her again in a few years if she ran for a future vacancy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24546933.post-84490908451913912802016-10-22T17:53:02.405-05:002016-10-22T17:53:02.405-05:00Nope, I hadn't seen it -- but I've seen it...Nope, I hadn't seen it -- but I've <a href="http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/sneed-accused-of-posing-as-judge-she-tried-to-delay-indictment/" rel="nofollow">seen it now</a>.
