Back to Chicago

Posted in:

Heading back home soon. The biggest news today was probably a failed attempt by the Senate Democrats to allow stem cell research - the floor amendment fell two votes short of passage.

Meanwhile, the Illinois State Rifle Association had a pretty good week, and the group crows about it here.

On Tuesday, Nov. 16, the Illinois House overrode Gov. Blagojevich’s veto of SB2165 - the Homeowner Protection Bill.

On Wednesday, Nov. 17, the Illinois Supreme Court struck down Chicago’s 433 million dollar lawsuit against gun manufacturers and dealers. In ruling against Chicago, the Court dismissed the notion that lawfully manufactured products are the cause of violent crime. The Court ruling brings to a close an expensive and divisive attempt by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley to run the nation’s firearm manufacturers out of business.
