Posted by Thomas DeVore on Wednesday, February 23, 2022
…Adding… Since this post is about DeVore, here’s a news story about his new lawsuit against Speaker Welch…
At a hearing [Tuesday] morning in Greenville, Welch’s counsel Joshua Ratz asked for the case to be moved to Cook County, but presiding judge Ronald Foster declined and instead sent the matter to Sangamon County.
Wilhour’s counsel, Thomas DeVore, said by phone this morning that he thought the matter could’ve been heard in Bond County, but the judge disagreed. DeVore lives in Bond County. As to the decision to move the case to Sangamon County, DeVore said, “I’m fine with that.”
DeVore has filed a request for a Temporary Restraining Order in the matter. He said it’s his contention that the Illinois House leadership can create rules of decorum, but can’t cloak a health rule under rules of decorum. He said that’s what led to the removal of the House members last week.
As to when the matter will be heard in Sangamon County, DeVore said it’s his goal to have it scheduled this week. The case will have to be assigned to a Sangamon County judge before things can proceed.

I’m proud to present my new DeVore-branded merchandise, the Pinocchio tie. For every lie you tell in court, the tie grows longer and the knot gets smaller. For a reasonable price of $650, you too can liberate yourself from tyrants like JB Pritzker, objective truth, and communist collar stays.

Not a caption, but clearly DeVore doesn’t know his Jeffersonian history, “Jefferson’s supporters accused Adams of having a “hideous hermaphroditical character,” while Adams’ camp called Jefferson “a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow.” Jefferson hired a sleazy journalist, James Callendar, to smear Adams in the press, including the (false) story that he wanted to start a war with France.”

So they can create rules of decorum eh? Let’s break out the dictionary.
Decorum: Behavior in keeping with good taste and propriety.
Propriety: The state or quality of conforming to conventionally accepted standards of behavior or morals.

1) A google search for that purported Thomas Jefferson quote returns this post and nothing but this post,
