The two Appellate Court judges responsible for tossing Rahm Emanuel from the ballot in February's mayoral race both won their jobs after being anointed by a Chicago political power broker who openly supports an Emanuel opponent. Whether or not their opinions are colored by politics, the case has recharged the debate among critics who decry a process of selecting judges that relies more heavily on political clout than merit. Longtime Appellate Court Judges Thomas E. Hoffman and Shelvin Louise Marie Hall — who on Monday ruled that Emanuel's stay in Washington precludes him from running for mayor this year — were both judicial candidates slated for election by the Cook County Democratic Party judicial slating committee chaired by Ald. Edward Burke, 14th.

As testimony in the Tina Olison case winds up its third week, a psychologist testified that she believed that Olison possessed the capacity to parent her two young sons. Maisha Hamilton-Bennett, the defense's first witness, spent most of the day testifying to Olison's mental fitness and that any previous obstacles to parenting were tied to her substance-abuse problem "and once that was addressed, she certainly is capable." Olison entered a chemical dependency program in March 1996--one month after the birth of her son, known as Baby T. Olison has been drug-free ever since, according to court testimony, but attorneys for the state and the Department of Children and Family Services assert that she still poses a risk to her children and have moved to terminate her parental rights.
