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.

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…

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.

Punching Back

SAF FILES FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST ILLINOIS GUN BAN [More]

Look at all the legal actions, just for this group.

You’d better believe part of the enemy’s legal strategy is to use their virtually unlimited tax plunder resources to deplete their victims’ resources.

I’d really like to see a concerted effort by the “gun lobby” to go after qualified immunity for enforcers abetting tyranny.

How Can You Tell John Idleburg is Lying?

While I am a believer in our Constitution and our 2nd Amendment, I firmly support the ban on assault-style rifles and I truly hope our federal government follows to ban them nationwide. Since our Constitution and the 2nd Amendment were formed, firearms have become much more sophisticated and much more deadly. Our Founding Fathers were not loading .223 rounds into their muskets. They were not using firearms designed to disintegrate human bodies. As I said following the Highland Park mass shooting, these weapons of war do not belong on our streets. They’re used to kill our police, used to kill innocent people, and used to inflict maximum carnage on their victims. [More]

The hand on the Bible is always a good clue.

Some of the cud-chewers in “Comments” certainly have the government they deserve.

UPDATE:

Never mind that this is illegal under current federal law. But who cares, right? [More]
