BREAKING: Appellate Court rules Gallagher and Murray ON the March primary ballot

As is customary in these cases there will be a written disposition explaining the Appellate Court's reasoning... but not right away. The news now, however, is that, in an order entered this afternoon, the Appellate Court has affirmed the Circuit Court's order reversing the Cook County Officers Electoral Board's decision. Judges Carolyn Gallagher and Leonard Murray are back on the March primary ballot... subject to possible review by the Illinois Supreme Court.

Possible... but unlikely... of course, if I could predict the future, I'd pick this weekend's Powerball numbers and retire in style. So I'm not predicting. I am merely saying that, looking at past history, the odds are that no further review is likely. More to come... when more is available.
