2A4Cook Posted May 19, 2023 at 10:20 PM Share Posted May 19, 2023 at 10:20 PM Their "values" and their "rights." I love it. They have no values, and they want to protect "their rights" to deprive other citizens of THEIR rights. These people are a joke. There is really only one actual threat to "democracy" in this country and this state, and that is the Democrat party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveTA84 Posted May 20, 2023 at 04:41 PM Share Posted May 20, 2023 at 04:41 PM https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_244b63da-f68f-11ed-a8a0-d7ae25baa649.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-share With the Illinois Supreme Court considering the constitutional challenge to the state’s gun and magazine ban, concerns around judicial integrity persist. Last year, two sitting Illinois’ Supreme Court justices were candidates for the bench when they each received $1 million to their campaign committees from Gov. J.B. Pritzker. After the election and now on the bench, Justices Elizabeth Rochford and Mary O’Brien denied a motion for their recusal in the gun ban challenge brought against Pritzker by state Rep. Dan Caulkins, R-Decatur. The court could rule on the gun ban challenge in the weeks ahead. “If we see how the ruling is and the ruling is adverse, we just have to measure and evaluate at that time,” Stocks said. He stood by his complaint in the recusal motion and suggested he could seek a challenge in the federal courts based on previous U.S. Supreme Court precedent. “And [the 2009 Caperton v. Massey U.S. Supreme Court case] says that a court of review must accord due process in the context of freedom of bias and prejudice in an issue, or appearance of it,” Stocks said.

Good point. For privacy reasons, one might consider using the return address of a neighbor who had displayed Rochford/O'Brien/Pritzker yard signs. 🙂 Edited May 23, 2023 at 12:53 PM by RECarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one intends to file a complaint, don't send a bogus one. It will invalidate the rest of the claims and make the whole thing look partisan.

Steve51 Posted June 10, 2023 at 12:27 AM Share Posted June 10, 2023 at 12:27 AM I sent my complaints about the 2 Illinois Supreme Court Justices to the Judicial Inquiry Board on May 24th. I received a confirmation letter today. When I looked at the Judicial Inquiry Board website, they did not show a single judicial complaint in 2023. I think they showed a total of 101 complaints since 1976. I have a suspicion there have been over 100 complaints filed about these 2 Illinois Supreme Court justices in just the last few weeks.

If they don’t publish the complaint summary(ies), it’s gonna cause problems on another note, the governor’s office missed their deadline today and failed to provide requested emails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to confirm this online as well, if you did not get the tracking numbers, they were on your USPS receipt, if you have that you can visually see the signature. Yes I work for USPS.

Benbow Posted June 13, 2023 at 12:32 PM Share Posted June 13, 2023 at 12:32 PM IIRC they are confidential unless and until the JIB acts on them, which almost never happens. There is roughly a 100% chance the JIB will not act on these. Its also meaningless. To OVERTURN the SC of IL needs 4 judges votes. That true whether its a panel of 7 or a panel of 3. Knocking off 1 or 2 unfriendly judges tecnically does not increase your chances of winning, if you actually think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I work for USPS. You are correct but in my case the tracking was showing both letters were "in the system to destination" but it went days and never changed. I thought they were lost but my rural carrier said I should call them because she had delivered a certified letter and her posted transaction was never posted in the postal system. I checked the postal tracking a couple of times after the inquiry board confirmed the receipt of my letters but still the tracking was showing the letters were in the system. Tracking showed the letters in Chicago for 6 days before I called the Judicial Inquiry Board. So, in my case, the tracking was useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
