"The judges also rejected the attempt to compare the Republican events to Black Lives Matter protests.
They said the governor’s endorsement of the protests and marches, nor his participation in them, is enough to “change the law” or to “change the text of the order.” The judges said the Republicans did not present enough proof that Pritzker and the state government actively allowed the Black Lives Matter protests favored by left-wing Democrats like Pritzker, while shutting down equivalent demonstrations from the other side of the political spectrum.
“Underenforcement claims are hard to win…,” the judges noted. “Although we do not rule out the possibility that someone might be able to prove this type of favoritism in the enforcement of an otherwise valid response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the record in this case falls short.”"
shows me that Amy Barrett has the brain of a rock. My vote would be HELL NO on Barrett. She could and should have declared the Pritzker was treating them unequally and ruled that he had to mandate the same restrictions and enforcement for both.
Thanks for that - this part:
