The companies said Raoul’s use of the lawyers violates their due process rights under the U.S. Constitution because it delegates state authority to private parties with a financial stake in the outcome. They also argue the Illinois Constitution requires officers of the state’s executive branch to be compensated with state salaries.

Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Kwame has to work. This is a first
If they stopped suing the current administration and just followed existing law, they wouldn’t have to hire additional help. They can’t help themselves when it comes to spending money on people illegally in our country and suing DJT. Illinois government is just a grifter now like the CTU waiting for an allowance from the federal government they haven’t earned. Why don’t they challenge companies that promise jobs, get tax incentives and leave the state? Or electric companies that overpromise “improvements” and underdeliver while exponentially raising rates? Or challenge teachers contracts that hold no one accountable for the kids education? That… Read more »
as opposed to being the highest law of the land, even they took an oath to uphold it the current fed government treats the US Constitution as mere suggestions to be ignored whenever convenient so why should states be expected to adhere to it?
Both parties do that and both parties supporters look the other way when their “team” does it. The last administration didn’t care about violating the constitution when they tried to circumvent congress to give away money to those with student loan debt.

That’s the current environment we live in. It appears our politicians follow the mantra, “if… Read more »
very true but back then the scotus & congress were there to hold the executive branch accountable which is certainly not the case now. it’s pretty much an ongoing real life south park episode- just look at fox news calling out newsom’s recent trump trolling for being inane & childish while missing the fact that he is just mirroring trumps tweets & meme’s, which are then also inane & childish. you can’t make this stuff up & if it were not so serious the hypocrisy would be sublime.
They are still there to hold them accountable but only if they think those actions are unconstitutional. Some of Trumps actions have been ruled unconstitutional just like Biden and Obama. They are being held accountable. The problem is everyone believes “their side” that the other teams actions are unconstitutional even when they are not.
