You're welcome.

One thing they could do is when the lower courts fail to abide by their ruling, over turn it immediately and tell them to actually read the ruling. Stop dragging their feet on whether or not they will even hear it. The crap going on in Illinois should have been tossed already and the USSC should have already ruled it was unconstitutional. Plus, you going to tell me that every other court in this country can hold someone in contempt except the Supreme Court???? Rule them on contempt and send the US Marshals to enforce it.

On April 17, plaintiffs answered the court's order regarding jurisdiction. On April 18, the court ordered defendants to respond by April 26.

In this particular instance, the Supreme Court does have some enforcement power, even if it's indirect. If the Court were to find this law unconstitutional, any police agencies or officers that tried to enforce it or a similar replacement law could find themselves in deep doo doo -- no qualified immunity, for starters, and also potential federal charges for violating civil rights under color of law. There's a seven year statue of limitations on that charge in cases not involving death, so the fact that there is currently an anti-gun Attorney General would be little comfort to would be violators.

The Senate cancelled 4/19/2024 session. They're now scheduled to return 4/30/2024.

How would they enforce a ruling or decision?

It appears the Senate has adjourned until tomorrow.

The way they are going SCOTUS will just be a ceremonial position like the British monarchy. Here I thought we had 4 branches of govt if you count agencies. Turns out we really only have 2 branches. The executive branch and the bureaucracy branch. Congress is the most worthless they have ever been and SCOTUS is the most nutless that they have ever been. Then again if you go back far enough SCOTUS let slavery, segregation, and even forced eugenics sterilizations stand so maybe infringing rights is just their jam.

The House is coming to order. 115 members are present.

The Senate is coming to order.

Looking forward to seeing the photos for us stuck at work.

I hope there is a good showing for this VERY important effort!!

What is hurting them (in my opinion) is that they refuse to enforce the rulings they make. The lower courts just thumb their noses at them. The legislatures (state and federal) thumb their noses at them. Even biteme is doing it with the loan forgiveness. They need to grow a back bone and start backing their decisions with something besides a piece of worthless paper and makes them nothing but a joke

Part of me thinks they just don't care. After 90+ years of unconstitutional infringements as long as they still get paid 200K+ and still live in their gated communities away from the problems of the peasant class (who can't be trusted with these weapons of war because we know better after all) then they are in absolutely no hurry.

I agree. I have IL and FL cards. If nothing else, it shows you made the effort to be within the laws.

Yah -- I can't wait to try to explain to a non-Illinois cop (or even any officer) why my current CCL has expired but the FOID CCW symbol makes it all okay. ps: always carry your UT, FL et al backup -- which, of course, IL doesn't honor.

OR just tell them: shall not infringe.

When the calendar comes up, go to the upper left corner and click on the year 2024. This will populate a screen that allows to roll back to your year of birth. Then scroll to your month and click on the day you want.

on the E card... anyone have a problem putting in your birthdate to sign in on an android? it brings up a calendar with todays date and the only way that I can get to my birthdate is to tap back 12X63 times. Cannot type in a date - 763 taps to get back to my birthdate is silly

... Follow-up: It just took a while, I guess.

Even though I post the ILGA threads the night before, I always speak as if it's already the day in question - 4/18/2024 in this case. So when I say "Yesterday in the House...", those amendments were actually adopted today, 4/17/2024, but that will be yesterday from the Illinois General Assembly 4/18/2024 point of view. So IGOLD is today, from what will be tomorrow's perspective.

Uh, this was posted on the 17th. IGOLD is the 18th - tomorrow, Thursday.
