Of course they did and I'm sure they are very smug that they got away with it . . .

For now they did, I think this is all far from over

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.

Is there a way to FOIA how many complaints have been filed to date (especially if they have been closed, dismissed, or "lost"?

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.

I happen to know that some complaint forms were mailed in several weeks ago, FWIW. It would be interesting if they claimed the complaints were "never received".

Anything that you want to ensure they cannot later claim was "never received" should be Certified mail, signature required.

Good point.  For privacy reasons, one might consider using the return address of a neighbor who had displayed Rochford/O'Brien/Pritzker yard signs. 🙂

I thought of sending it from Sean Casten or Dick Durbin.

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.  

[steveTA84]

Filing a complaint is easy and just takes a few minutes.
