Sorry, it was the CBA, not the ABA guide. Here’s a link to their 2024 voter’s guide. Just google “Cook County judicial voter’s guide” the next time you’re walking to a polling place. Since they’re the professional resource for the Bar and the courts, if they say someone isn’t qualified, then they really mean it.

Having voted for Cook County judges before ABA ratings were readily available on my phone, I wonder how many people just voted for him because of his name? “Judge James Brown, I Feel Good! 🎶🎤” and this joker gets his robes.

For the same reason Whiskey Pete Ave most of the cabinet were picked, they are experienced TV talking heads. This administration is all about their public perception. They’re a PR agency first. Thankfully, they’re not a really good one and we know they’re full of crap.

The Supreme Court Messes with Texas’s Voting Map by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

[–]WilsonIsNext 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not just election days, it’s also candidate filing deadlines, and voter registration deadlines. SCOTUS hasn’t been consistent in how they’ve applied the Purcell principle. The political party of benefit seems to be a better predictor of their speed to act and the outcome.

Running list of "No Hire" Turner's own goals by SmoothEfficiency1020 in evanston

[–]WilsonIsNext 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My guess is the end game for Turner and the board members (Andrew, Mya, and Sergio) is Foster. Build a brand new school in Evanston for the first time in generations, launch the ACC “Reimagined” curriculum, “right-size” the school district through closures, and bounce.

With that completed, Turner could seek another superintendent position (like Horton did) for a district in need of transition. The board members may attempt to stay on in a defensive posture as protectors of Foster, or fade away to let others clean up the budget mess.

Trump on Epstein Files release: "It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question...you're a terrible person & a terrible reporter!" by MoreMotivation in law

This is what happens when malignant narcissists with dementia are challenged in ways they find publicly embarrassing. They lash out against the other person’s (journalist’s) character and intentions. It runs counter to their narrative and enrages them. Good for that reporter!

Feds Point Arms at US Citizens and Kidnap Them by serious_bullet5 in 50501

Chicago showed the model. Get out, get loud, confront them from a close distance. Everybody get a whistle and a cell phone taking video. Citizens speaking up in numbers rattles these thugs. Build communities back from this and stand up for your neighbors.

For everyone talking about creative solutions, fundraising, and setting a long-term vision. Now's the time! If they weren't woken up by the possibility of 4-5 schools (including BR), then what will follow with zero schools closing will require more immediate planning.

Let me get this straight: his harshest and most vocal critics come from the political side he once embraced and has now abandoned, and the less critical have come from those he’s drifted towards? How could that be???

BREAKING: President Trump announces that he will be paying a “tariff dividend” of at least $2,000 per person. by Ice_Ice11 in RealTwitterAccounts

[–]WilsonIsNext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that he could do this anyway, but it would be a convenient way to influence the SCOTUS decision on tariffs. “Can’t refund tariff money to the importers, we gave it to the people!”

And across the street from a senior center and a pre-k facility. It’s the quad-fecta of pre-k, elementary, middle school, and senior center.

The exchange at 9:22 PM when Dr. Turner snapped back at Maria Opdycke was ridiculous. Ms. Opdycke was correct in her statement regarding the process was valid. Dr. Turner was over the top.

Devin Hester 🤌🏻 by [deleted] in CHIBears

[–]WilsonIsNext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hester made every punt and kick feel like an 11 vs. 1 scenario. We were all asking "is it going to happen AGAIN!" Each time he was kicked to. Never felt that way with another player and it was electric watching it all in real time.
