IL high court: State can limit constitutional challenges to Chicago, Springfield courts – Cook County Record

In the ruling, however, the court's majority shied away from a more sweeping declaration concerning the law's constitutionality.

The Illinois Supreme Court is a joke. Bought and paid for by Pritzger and the Democratic Party. Thr majority democrat judges will never, ever, ever rule against any unlawful or biased actions of the state democrats. What a disgrace.

You should have seen what happened last year, when Wirepoints wrote an article about Anthony Fauci. Many comments were running 15 or 20 up-votes to a few down-votes over a 24 hour period.

“Most lawyers were taught in law school that the courts may determine the constitutionality of a statute or action by the government and issue an order remedying any violation, and that the courts claiming “Supremacy” have the last word on the matter. This unconstitutionally places the Judicial Branch in a dictatorial position over the Executive and Legislative Branches of America’s government. U.S. courts do not have the enforceable constitutional power to require the Executive, a separate branch of government, to do or not do anything. They especially do not have the power to force the executive to abide by any… Read more »

Frank, without judicial review and court power to declare things unconstitutional, there would be no enforcement mechanism for the Bill of Rights or anything else in the Constitution. Congress or the administrative branch could search and arrest without a warrant or cause, ignore your right to trial by jury and due process, muzzle your freedom of speech, take property without compensation and all the rest. The power to invalidate things as unconstitutional may not be expressly in the Constitution, but it has been a foundational principle for 225 years and served us remarkably well. Your view would allow Congress or… Read more »

It looks like David Howard views the Judicial Branch as having the power to “judge only” and pass on their opinion and expertise to the Executive Branch, the enforcement mechanism. The Executive then has the power to either enforce the judgement or not based on their interpretation of the issue as constitutional or not. They all took the oath and are expected to uphold it. If the State can limit constitutional challenges to Chicago, Springfield courts, then plaintiffs should consider taking their case to the federal courts. 18 U.S. Code § 241 – Conspiracy against rights 18 U.S. Code §… Read more »

Travel, schmavel. We all know that this is about turning IL in one big kangaroo court and getting a favorable venue for the defendant when one wants to sue the state, for there are a lot of reasons to do so. Smiling Cobra Kwame and Waddles have the joint locked down folks, get used to it.

Golly. This seems unconstitutional. You know. The US Constitution; not the public sector union toilet paper that is the Illinois ‘constitution’. Once again, Illinois Democrat’s attempts at tyranny bump into the Constitution.
