2/27/2011 UPDATE:
The Illinois Supreme Court has ruled 7-0 in favor of keeping Rahm Emanuel on the ballot for Chicago mayor.

To be honest, I don't have a specific opinion on Rahm Emanuel, though I have to admit that Andy Sandberg's SNL impression of him does make me laugh pretty heartily. I don't live in Chicago, or Illinois, for that matter. I have no horse in this race.
But I have just read the dissenting Judge's opinion in the Illinois case, and I do think that she has some seriously good points to be made.
Just how does one legally establish "residency", which is a legal term, versus where you happen to lay your head on a pillow any given night? That's really what seems to be at the core of this case.
