55 YES - 61 NO and a couple present I think - postponed consideration.

At least Acevedo took a loss before going home.

Ok, the video skipped so I heard "55 present".  I laughed, but then I realized it was probably a mistake.

Ike, the only problem with that is the lawsuits would have to start all over again. In my heart of hearts I do agree with your submission though.
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks"

Now two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feel. One is the colors that fly high and proud the red, the white, the blue. The other ones got a rattle snake with a simple statement made, don't tread on me, is what it says and I'll take that to my grave

SB2539 isn't even on the calendar.  There's pretty much a 0% chance it will come up for a vote, no?

If Speaker Madigan would relaese the bill there is still time to run it.

It's entirely up to him at thispoint.

Interesting that last year Madigan let a carry bill come to the floor when he knew the votes weren't there to pass it...but this year he isn't taking that chance.
Maybe he knows this time we have the 71 votes.

Farmer - are we certain that it won't be brought up?  Did I miss something procedural?  Should I stop listening, or is there still hope, even the slightest faint hope, that it could come up today?

June 8th with bells on!
Stung by the result of McDonald v. City of Chicago, 130 S. Ct. 3020 (2010), the City quickly enacted an ordinance that was too clever by half. Recognizing that a complete gun ban would no longer survive Supreme Court review, the City required all gun owners to obtain training that included one hour of live‐range instruction, and then banned all live ranges within City limits. This was not so much a nod to the importance of live‐range training as it was a thumbing of the municipal nose at the Supreme Court.

Isn't there a way to sue Madigan for blocking a bill from a vote just because he dosen't like it? If not, sounds like a good idea for a bill next session. HB1 "The speaker can not keep a bill from a floor vote without good reason." And NOT, "Just Because".

I don't think you can sue but you can scream and shout and slam your microphone down - that you can do.

No, the bill was never let out of committee.

Talonap, he is not breaking any rules by doing this and it would take a constitutional amendment to fix it. But I agree, NO speaker should ever block a bill from going to the floor ever.

It's stuck in committee man - the Speaker has to determine to bring a bill to a reading out of committee. It's just the reality right now, and there's not way Madigan is going to let it come to the floor today. He's scared.

As long as they are in session there is a faint chance.  Also, there is always the chance of a special session.

Keep in mind though that if it sits until the Fall session, there won't be enough time to override a veto (should Quinn fulfill one of his promises) if he vetoes it late enough.  He has 60 days to sit on it and if the veto session ends earlier than his 60 day limit, he can veto it with no chance of an override (at least no chance to my knowledge).
