Question of the day
Tuesday, Jul 13, 2021 - Posted by Rich Miller
* Remember Judge Mike McHaney?…
Point by point, the judge in downstate Clay County on Friday ticked off the many ways he found Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order had devolved into “insanity” and become “completely devoid of anything approaching common sense.”
Clay County Judge Michael McHaney complained that recently legalized pot shops had been deemed essential over generations-old family businesses. People had been led to believe they could avoid COVID-19 at Walmart but not at church.
His opinions were way outside the legal realm, as noted by Judge Raylene Grischow…
Judge McHaney said the Governor has no constitutional authority as Governor under the cited provisions of the IEMAA to restrict a citizen’s movement or activities and to forcibly close businesses because any such authority was restricted to the Department of Health. This Court has previously held that the State’s police powers authorize measures to be implemented to protect its citizens when confronted with contagious diseases and other threats to public health and safety. Again, this Court reiterates that the state’s police powers are outlined in both the state and federal constitution and supports the Governor’s actions in combating this pandemic. Without such authority the state would be paralyzed to act when needed. The Illinois constitution provides the Governor with supreme executive authority.
Well, McHaney is now running for the appellate court.

Why on earth did he set his sites so low? With his legal acumen he should be running for later least State Supreme Court. And with luck when Trump is sworn in this August perhaps a U S Supreme Court seat since Kavenaugh turned out to be a disappointment. Just in case I this is a /s

If the Appellate court overturns my rulings, I’ll show them. I’ll just join them and overturn their rulings. So there.

I just…I can’t. I don’t need to see a poll or know if he’ll have any opposition to know in my gut that this clown is going to win and take a seat on the Appellate Court.
It sickens me how grifters, con men and idiots are being rewarded with political support and money. We’re becoming an idiocracy and I’m afraid we won’t be able to survive as a nation.
I wish it was funny. It’s not funny anymore.

Only one of the three got their current gig by being appointed by a Democrat and it ain’t one of the ladies. I wonder if he and Darren Bailey mention that at their rube festival dinners?

You have to remember that this guy is REALLY a democrat, just jumped over to GOP when the tide changed in Southern Illinois,
.Check the record as to when and why he got appointed as an associate judge.

“You have to remember that this guy is REALLY a democrat, just jumped over to GOP when the tide changed in Southern Illinois”
Much like Jefferson Davis was REALLY a unionist and just jumped sides in the run-up to the Civil War.
Check the record of Davis’ service in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives.
