Illinois A.G. Kwame Raoul: Law firms’ capitulation to Trump harms Illinoisans – Crain’s*

Raoul: "Our economy, our rights and freedoms as citizens and residents, our lives and livelihoods are all protected by the fair and unbiased application of the law. I will not sit by silently as the president bullies and retaliates against law firms for representing clients who are politically disfavored or vulnerable. President Trump’s actions are an affront to the rule of law, and I urge all members of the legal community to stand strong in support of our colleagues in the face of these unconstitutional attacks."

He’s not protecting my rights. IL supreme court bought and paid for by Dems. This court voted against all IL when they dismissed the case against gerrymandering. I hope the case goes to the Federal Supreme Court.

Wow. Don’t tell me that Kwame is actually going to stay in IL for once instead going coast to coast to help spread the Dems Marxist ideology! Strange days…

The single biggest thing hurting IL is voters who continually vote for politicians who seek to perpetuate and expand the role of government and the voracious appetite for spending and no appetite for fiscal discipline. IL govt is like junk food, it’ll kill you.

Elected leaders are giving the voters exactly what they want.

As well as voters that aren’t public employees.

Even if every public employee voted (they didn’t) and every public employee voted for democrats (they didn’t), you wouldn’t have enough voters to elect democrats. Sure public employees tend to support dems but clearly there are many other voters that aren’t public employees that support these policies. Overall, the voters are getting exactly what they want.
