Dems Bill to Stop Any Citizen From Challenging Their Power

If there’s one thing that I know Democrats love, it is making a law that will strip people of their liberty as much as possible.

Illinois Democrats are just finding more ways to be corrupt and guard against any citizen challenging their power. Recently, Illinois Senate President Don Harmon introduced legislation that would stop Illinois residents from being able to file lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of state laws.

So, House Bill 3062, General Assembly could make 23 circuit courts off limits for lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of Illinois laws or actions taken by Illinois state officials and law suits only filed in Chicago or Springfield, no other court. People, Wake up.

 “To this point, Illinoisans who believe Illinois lawmakers or other officials have passed laws or taken actions that violate the state constitution or their constitutional rights have been authorized to file such challenges in any court in any of the state’s 25 judicial circuits, covering the state’s 102 counties. Such courts are known as courts of general jurisdiction, meaning they are authorized to consider legal disputes involving any subjects not specifically reserved for the Illinois Supreme Court,” the Cook County Record reported.

However, House Bill 3062 would change that by making 23 of the circuit courts currently being utilized obsolete. If passed lawsuits could only be brought in Cook County, where Chicago is located, or Sangamon County, where the state capital sits. Both heavily liberal and left-leaning areas would oppose any lawsuit not to their liking.

From The Cook County Record:

But under the legislation, docketed as amendments to a bill known as House Bill 3062, the Democratic supermajority in the Illinois General Assembly could make 23 of those circuit courts off limits for lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of Illinois laws or actions taken by Illinois state officials.

Instead, such lawsuits could only be brought in Cook County or Sangamon County courts.

Thus far, Harmon has filed three proposed amendments to the legislation. Taken together, the restrictions would apply to actions “brought against the State … asserting a cause of action for a violation of the Constitution of the State of Illinois” or to actions “brought against the State of any of its officers, employees, or agents acting in an official capacity … seeking declaratory or injunctive relief against any State statute, rule, or executive order based on an alleged violation of the Constitution of the State of Illinois or the Constitution of the United States.”
