Motion: Pritzker’s campaign donations grounds for justices’ recusal in challenge to Illinois’ gun ban – Center Square

State Rep. Dan Caulkins' attorney Jerry Stocks filed a motion Thursday for the justice to recuse themselves because of “unreasonably large campaign contributions” from Gov. JB Pritzker and House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch that “undermine public confidence” in the judiciary. Asked in early March if the justices should recuse themselves because of the donations, Pritzker said that’s “ridiculous.”
