Pritzker issues 9th emergency declaration to extend COVID-19 powers – Illinois Policy

"The governor’s emergency powers stem from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act, which limits the exercise of emergency powers to 30 days after a disaster proclamation is made...The Act is silent as to whether the emergency powers can be renewed in that way, and the Illinois General Assembly has not stepped in to clarify with new legislation."

Maybe not helpfully, because Jabba’s been protected by IL Supreme Crookeds since the 7/2 rescind of Orders, but coincidentally, Darren Bailey (re-) files for Contempt Motion on the dictator:

Why won’t the legislature do the job we elected them to do…?

Ohh…. Thats right…

They would have to have hearings, & the Gov. would have to provide actual *evidence* of a true emergency….

Not the numbers he has *massaged” to fit his narrative…

Jag Boys emergency powers are not real. They were only allowed to last the first 30 days–that ended in April. What has been going on since is illegal. But because the Illinois courts are in the dems pocket they just let any argument against it slide.
Proof that Illinois is corrupt!!!!!

Can’t this be appealed to the Federal courts who also look at how the judges aren’t even adhering to their own laws?
