* From Rep. Adam Niemerg’s campaign Facebook page with emphasis added by me…

Judges don’t usually speak at these sorts of dinners unless they’re running for retention or higher office. There’s apparently an appellate vacancy in Judge “Fishing is a Constitutional Right” McHaney’s neck of the woods. Just sayin.

…Adding… I’m told Judge McHaney is planning a run for the appellate court.

When he’s not trolling the Democrat Party on the lockdown, he’s grifting off our businesses, cashing checks and losing gracefully. We owe him a debt of gratitude, and if you know anyone willing to lose in court and will pay upfront, see him afterwords. Put your hands together for the Washington Generals of the Illinois bar, a warm welcome, Thomas DeVore… esquire. - Jocko - Wednesday, Feb 3, 21 @ 10:33 am: “Masks? We ain’t got no masks.

Taking time off from being debunked and shunned by his own colleagues in the Illinois House, we are lucky he’s here when he can still be fighting the good fight of that 51st state, you know him, no need to guess who’s under a mask with him, big round of applause, Senator Darren Bailey” - Dance Band on the Titanic - Wednesday, Feb 3, 21 @ 10:40 am: “the Smokin’ Pig Crew” Seems like pork ain’t all these folks are smokin’. - Donnie Elgin - Wednesday, Feb 3, 21 @ 10:43 am: =It’s illegal for a judge to be listed with dollar amounts= They should have used this language “$25.00 suggested donation” - Roger Abbott - Wednesday, Feb 3, 21 @ 10:45 am: *60% of all proceeds will benefit our “real” president, Donald J.

His tireless work to ensure Tom DeVore wouldn’t be shut out of a win during his record setting losing streak, and ensuring fishing right aren’t denied to anyone when no one asked that they be defined.
