While each of the lawsuits was different, three common themes are: the SAFE-T Act addresses a range of issues in violation of the state Constitution, which requires legislation to “be confined to one subject"; the elimination of cash bail is a violation of the Illinois Constitution, which says persons 'shall be bailable by sufficient sureties"; and the SAFE-T Act should be blocked because it was passed in a matter of hours, whereas legislation is supposed to be before the General Assembly for at least three days.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
It should be all Illinois prosecutors, not just 58. Except for Kim Foxx, who is not an actual prosecutor.
What was the Black Caucus thinking when they concocted and pushed through this red herring of a 700-page bill in the middle of the night?
Poorly written, contradictory and simply a major benefit for criminals with NO benefits for victims, society or law enforcement.
Disgusting.
