The state will appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court, according to a statement from Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, and a statement from Gov. JB Pritzker's office late Wednesday called the ruling “a setback for the principles we fought to protect through the passage of the SAFE-T Act...The General Assembly and advocates worked to replace an antiquated criminal justice system with a system rooted in equity and fairness."

Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.

From CWBCHICAGO.COM. That get out of jail free thing really works.

No cash bail is for your SAFE-T?
A test of how stupid Illinois can be.
From the looks of it, pretty damn stupid.
Illinois is not only a sanctuary state for illegals, it is a becoming a sanctuary state for criminals. Such as the way many Democrat governed states are going or will be going.
This is terrible news for Kwame. He’ll actually need to do some work. He’s not used to that at all.
As exemplified by the 2020 riots, and ANY action in Chicago to stem the violence. I’m going to have shirts made up “Where’s Kwame”.
The bill was put in to satisfy assorted groups after the Floyd shooting. I was and am hoping that the provision holds up just as written so when implemented the people will see the reality of the ideas certain individual groups want for this State so in order to evaluate future requests from these organizations.
It’s for educational purposes and certainly no one wants to deny an education to the Illinois citizenry.
I’d rather not put my family and myself at risk of death or injury just to ‘own’ some libs who could care less. Crime will go up and they’ll just double down on wokeness and blame some other problem. Not one of these people ever look back and regret or admit the law was a bad idea. This is not just some generalization. This is quite frankly, the response every communist ideologue has ever had. There’s no such thing as a reformed communist. The communist cannot admit fault, its just not part of his religion.
I used to think your way until I finally woke up to the Illinois’ political system and how it operates. You and your family are already at considerable risk the way the system is now.
that photo evokes such sympathy….lol
Revolvers, multiple revolvers…
Most of the bill has been upheld and the cash bail provision struck down but only applies to the 60 or so counties that were part of the lawsuit. Attorney General Raoul (insert laughter) will now appeal to Illinois Supreme Court, 5 democrats, 2 Republicans so we already know what the outcome will be. Meanwhile, Officer Smith, you forgot to activate your body cam as that guy was shooting at you so we are charging you with a felony and releasing the violent criminal that fired shots at you because of your felony crime.
The IL constitution says “All persons shall be bailable by sufficient sureties” and then lists some exceptions for felonies. If the Illinois Supreme Court overturns this lower courts decision, on a 5-2 partisan basis, then we no longer have any system of justice at all, where the court can disregard the obvious and plain language of the constitution itself, and all that matters is politics. Which of course would be on the one hand terrible, but on the otherhand, it means that the pension and contract clause obligations can be overturned in the future by a conservative court without a… Read more »
