* 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.

7. “Our next speaker, this is truly a treat for all of us. 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.

26. The propriety of this under judicial ethics canons in Illinois depends on whether he is a candidate or not at the time, and whether he is just attending or actually speaking (and if speaking, just on his behalf or on behalf of the organization).

    Comment by Ron Burgundy Wednesday, Feb 3, 21 @ 11:04 am

36. “We are truly honored to have this next speaker. 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. It’s said a judge’s courtroom is his or her own little world, and this judge has really made his own little world something to behold, please, a round of applause, Judge Mike McHaney.”

    Comment by dbk Wednesday, Feb 3, 21 @ 12:27 pm

41. McHaney should read up on Illinois Supreme Court Rule 67 before he does anything further with this fundraiser. He might want to go fishing that night instead, just in case he needs an alibi for a Judicial Inquiry Board complaint.
