Madigan files for 30 extension to stay

My guess is she can do this and show the anti-gun crowd that she will not bow down to the pro-gun crowd while really doing nothing to hurt the bill which will eventually become law. And on the campaign trail she can blame it all on Quinn since it IS her job to protect the state's interests and the Illinois Constitution does give the governor 60 days to "decide" to sign a bill or not. She can claim it was his demand and she had little choice but to do his bidding.....

 

I don't know diddly about the legal side of it but from the political side it would seem she really has nothing to loose and quite a bit to gain strategically.....

If that's the case, Quinn should mess up her plans and sign the bill now.. Or request it from the ILGA if they don't get it to him soon.

How much longer are they gonna sandbag? My guess is as long as it takes for all of their lapdog municipalities to pass AWBs and/or institute registration schemes for long guns. I hope to God the court denies this blatant time wasting. They have had SIX MONTHS.

Wouldn't she had to have done this more than 10 days before the deadline to give the other side in the suit an opportunity to respond??

no its not an appeal for cert at scotus. its to prevent posners ruling from going into effect the 9th.

I understand that, it is a request push the 180 day deadline. If I was the opposing attorney in that case, I sure would like to weigh in. IANAL, so I don't know the rules...

Not really sure I think it's 50/50 on whether she gets more time. The court may say that nine days (basically what the Governor is getting) to review is enough time. May also put off the 7th because if there really was so much concern the bill should have gone to the Governor earlier. Honestly, you never know but I don't think she will get the 30 days and the Gov. will have to sign because if anything this is telling us that they are taking the 9th very seriously. Her ability to file requesting cert runs out on the 24th but I don't think she is about to do that anyway. Either way at worst it may be that we are only talking about a delay. The bill has passed both houses and that is that with the bill.

 

My guess, I think we will have a new law by the 9th

I think she screwed the pooch on being able to appeal when she requested this stay of his order "so they can review the bill"

I don't agree this was the plan. I think the AG is doing what she has to do. its her job. That democrat primary for governor is going to be cruel and Madigan cannot afford to loose conservative and pro-gun downstate democrats or pro-gun Northern democrats later on to Rutherford. There is allot of stuff going on that is why democrats are not pushing same sex marriage, they cannot afford to loose liberal democrats that because of religion will not go for same sex marriage. By the way the Speaker is nowhere to be found, he left on vacation.

If you mean filing for cert? Yeap she will run out of time. But I don't see her doing that anyway. Way too much can go wrong politically.

Yes... I think GB has nailed it with this reasoning. I don't think it is about guns or gun laws directly (although I suppose Quinn would love to give all the home rule folks extra time for more sillyness) but instead, it is about the run for governor and they are all trying to position themselves for the primary....

I hope the republicans are teeing it up. I love some of our downstate dems, but using this to knock down the dem's hold on the statehouse and hence, the Madigan clan, should be priority #1. Unfortunately, the Illinois republican party is a cluster.

Not sure what kind of answered is planned to Madigan's motion but I can imagine that the Plaintiffs will be able to present that not only that they will sustain some harm in delay but that 180 days plus the schedule set out by the bill is enough waiting and infringement on their rights. Not sure if that will fly. I do believe Posner will be just a bit put off.

A 30 day extension for Quinn to review the bill serves no purpose. The request assumes that he will sign it prior to or at the expiration of the 30 day period, because, if Quinn vetoed the law, then the only way to avoid the "circumstance in which there is no state law in place governing the carrying of firearms in public places" is to seek another extension. So, if Quinn spends 30 days reviewing it, finds it lacking and vetos it, what is Lisa going to do? Ask for another 30, 90 or 180 days for the ILGA to pass a new bill? I certainly don't see the court allowing that because Illinois will once again spend the first 90% of those days doing nothing

 

The court gave IL 6 months to pass a bill - half a year of the people being defenseless. How many people were victims of violent crimes during that time? Everyone in Springfield was aware of the deadline and could have worked to produce a bill that Quinn could act on within the deadline. Instead, Madigan played politics for 170 days and then decided on the 171st day to pass a bill.

 

I hope the court sees a pattern in the state's behavior of always delaying and asking for extensions. I know requests for extensions are routine and often granted, but in this case, Madigan is basically saying to the court "We know that the A/UUW deprives citizens of their fundamental constituional rights, but we ask you to let us continue enforcing it anyway for another 30 days."

 

I hope that the court will slap them down this time.
