Who Will Judge the Judge?
IL Supreme Court justice that’s under fire was sued for legal malpractice (and lost the case) [More]
Nice to know our rights are being decided by the very best… Is there anything cleaner than Illinois politics?
If you don’t have Mom-At-Arms bookmarked, you’re missing out on routine unique “finds” that the ‘real reporters” will never tell you about.
Called into Question
On certain firearms being banned over others, McGlynn gave Wells several scenarios. One he gave was of a wife home alone with four intruders… On certain firearms features, like collapsible stocks being banned, McGlynn gave another scenario… [More]
I don’t see how McGlynn can rule against the plaintiffs without showing himself to be cognitively dissonant to the point of being bipolar.
As for Wells, he’s just a damn Judas to his countrymen. All he can spout back are BS platitudes.

The Vichycon Difference!
A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled to keep an Illinois state-wide “assault weapons” ban in effect, denying a request from a business owner who claims the ban is unconstitutional. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided to uphold a lower ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall, who found the ban to be “constitutionally sound,” despite the request for an injunction… [More]
Kendall was nominated by George W. Bush.
The Seventh Circuit has seven Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.

Counterpoint
SAF ATTORNEYS FILE REPLY BRIEF IN ILLINOIS GUN, MAGAZINE BAN CASE [More]
The grabbers with effectively unlimited resources keep filing crap they know is wrong just to keep depleting defender resources.
Under the Influence
Pritzker says it’s ‘ridiculous’ to expect justices to recuse themselves after $2M donations [More]
That’s some industrial-strength gaslighting right there.

The Finest Judges Money Can Buy
Yesterday we explored how Gov. Pritzker of Illinois played fast and loose with campaign finance rules to stack the state Supreme Court he is appealing his “assault weapon” ban legal setback to.
Mom-at-Arms has updated its report to prove a conflict of interest and to cite U.S. Supreme Court precedent:
Bishop On Air says “recuse.” (14:56)
The Real Conspirators
Illinois judge rules state’s gun ban and registry unconstitutional [More]
That the people have to go to court because the government– where everyone involved swore an oath — is determined to violate the Constitution says much about the treasonous scoundrels in political power.
It also explains why under tyranny, “seditious conspiracy” seems more like a civic duty than a crime.

UPDATE
And Pritzker is appealing to judges who owe their seats to his inherited money.
This is by far the bigger story, meaning don’t look for the DSM to give a damn. Maybe we can at least urge the “gun rights” folks with a longer reach to use it.
Biased Ruling Supporting Semiauto Ban Enabled by Sham Confirmations
Who but someone willfully deluding herself, a liar, or both, would deliberately ignore that the militia is comprised of citizens “capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time”? Its function was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. And these citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The militia did not assemble on the green bearing torches and pitchforks. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. [More]
And worst of all, this robed … thing … was confirmed by a Republican majority Senate.
Cleanup on Aisle 4
Illinois Plans to House Illegal Immigrants in Shuttered Chicago K-Mart Store [More]
Love where you live, right?
Plus you gotta have an address to drive.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.

Just Tell Us What You Want
An Idea Whose Time Has Come?
A Bill That Would Require Legislators to Know What the Hell They Are Talking About [Watch]
Nah. I see two basic problems:
I don’t want an ignorant enemy to know what they’re talking about because then they’ll be in a better position to anticipate a bill’s vulnerabilities and make it more bulletproof.
Besides, those pulling their strings know exactly what they’re talking about, and that citizen disarmament is not about guns, it’s about control.

Kwame, How I Love Ya, How I Love Ya, My Dear Old Kwame
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul appealed to the 5th District Appellate Court in Mount Vernon Monday to overturn a temporary restraining order against the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which bans dozens of handguns and rifles, .50-caliber guns, certain attachments and accessories, and limits cartridges to 10 rounds for long guns and 15 rounds for pistols.

On the plus side, it’ll end up heading to the Bruen court…

And These Guys Too
NRA challenges Illinois semiautomatic gun ban in court: ‘Blatant violation’ of Second Amendment rights [More]
So all the big dogs are in.
Welcome to the Party, Pals
Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) joined a federal lawsuit filed today challenging Illinois’s latest ban on so-called “assault weapons.” The Second Amendment Law Center and the Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois are also lead plaintiffs in this suit, along with others as well. [More]
The more the merrier…
Forgive me for wishing we had resolved all this decades ago…
Semi vs. Full Autocratic?
“Is he going to enforce our automatic weapons ban if that’s an unregistered weapon?” Stava-Murray said. “He said no, he’s not going to. That seems very dangerous.” [More]
Who does she think she is? Kenny Akers?
Do you think she’s really that ignorant, or is she calculating enough to assist with the lie?
And any bets on if the sheriff will stick to his guns?

Delay of Game
A judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the new Illinois law banning assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines [More]
Related, just to show how worlds apart we are:
“They took an oath of office to enforce the laws of the state of Illinois, and they will do so,” Pritzker said of the sheriffs Friday in Chicago after signing a law protecting abortion and gender-affirming care.
That’s not what the oath is to, but funny how this disgusting pig of a privileged elite domestic enemy now demands his enforcers be “oath keepers”…
That’s not without precedent.
