Rahm Loses Again

  • People younger than 18 have a Second Amendment right to target practice, with adult supervision. Broad bans on the location of firing ranges are unconstitutional. On these points, all three judges of a 7th Circuit panel agree, in the newly decided Ezell II.

    Released Wednesday, Ezell II held that:

    Chicago may not prohibit all persons under 18 from entering licensed firing ranges.
    Chicago may not constrict firing ranges to a tiny sliver of the city.

    The opinion of the court was written by Judge Diane Sykes, joined by Judge Michael Kanne. Judge Ilana Rovner concurred in part and dissented in part. She agreed with the above two points but construed them more narrowly than did the majority.
And no doubt, Rahm will be sending another chunk of taxpayer money to Alan Gura and David Sigale, who represented the plaintiffs in this case, for yet another classic overreach.

I feel that Rahm's world is starting to fall apart. Hopefully, tomorrow will begin his worries 100 fold.

What does Rahm care? It isn't his money. Do you think the Alderthieves care? They "did something." Ain't none of them getting unelected for passing unconstitutional laws.

Maybe when Jeff Sessions has someone convicted of deprivation of civil rights under 42 USC 1983 they will take the US Constitution seriously?

Sykes is indeed reportedly on Trumps list for a Supreme seat. I personally find her an attractive proposition for the bench. I do not agree with all of her decisions that I have read but that is okay too as long as she demonstrates obvious reasoning and applications of our laws in them. Thank god there is court oversight of Rahm or can you believe how worse living in this city and others would be?

I disagree. Rahm wins again.
As others have commented, he has unlimited taxpayer funds to appeal and appeal. Meanwhile nothing changes until the next appeal is heard which will take years to be heard. in the meantime, he gets his way.

Jeff Sessions will not be convicting anyone under 42 USC 1983. This is a civil statute.

I don't like this nine finger cocksucker in any why, but he is getting fucked up politically and will probably lose the reelection. But my problem in this jagoff losing the reelection is who's going to be replacing stupid. I've told every retiree who still is registered in Chicago to come back and vote against this prick. The illegals vote in our election, so why can't we when no one gives a fuck any why.

Madigan's arrogance gave us a Federal Court Ordered concealed carry law. Rahm's arrogance gave us this most recent win. These are all solid cases that set precedent. Thnk you libtards.

It would be nice to have the court suspend their qualified immunity and make them personally responsible for the next round of unconstitutional laws those weasels pass.

Maybe the court costs too. I'd like to see Rahm and the aldercritters whining and have to split up the $2 or $3 million in legal fees.

Sean Hannity keeps pushing President Trump to keep his promises, With rahm completely disobeying federal law against the will of the people and even stealing taxpayers rebate money and giving that to illegal invaders for lawyers, as rahm laughingly took away money from police retirees whose side is he on? Obviously the criminals.

On another note wtf bad move Illinois elected goofs avoiding the Presidential Trump inauguration, think he will not forget? Big disgrace Bruce you and danny lipinski, plus mike quiqley had the balls to give away 50 tickets for the inauguration sending the students but the cowardly punk move he did not go with them!

Illinois elected keep pandering to the thugs and illegal invaders, the criminal element is totally respected by these wastes of office, they bastardize the police with their pet 24/7 dishonest media don't know what President Trump is planning but you can the crime and criminal conduct is on his list for an early strike by Jeff sessions pro=police federal officers!

At what point is Chicago just laundering tax monies into yet another special interest pocket in order to keep right on laundering tax money right into their other special interest pocketbooks?

At what point to do people tire of this foolishness?

Suits from now on have to target the people themselves so THEIR pocketbooks get tagged instead of the taxpayers pockets getting picked.

Just think, all that loot going to SAF could have been better used to PAY COPS to like police the city!

First day for great President Trump first agenda on White House page:

The Trump Administration is committed to reducing violent crime. In 2015, homicides increased by 17% in America’s fifty largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. There were thousands of shootings in Chicago last year alone.

In the other legal rounds, the City picked up the tab for Oak Lawn. Oak Lawn thought the case was a waste of money and didn't want to play. But the City got them on board by agreeing to pick up their legal bills.

And since the City lost, it also had to pay the other sides' bills.

Total somewhere in the range of $15M

Add who knows how much this is to the total.

What really can Trump or the Federal Government do? Urban street crime is a local problem. To be addressed by local authourities.

In Chicago (and other Democratic enclaves) the crime control process has broken down. Either due to the Ferguson Effect or starving the locals of resources.

In Chicago the problem is compounded by a criminal justice apparatus that has rolled over and gone fetal.

County Board does not want to put people in jail. Having them fill the morgue doesn't seem to be an issue. Some people really need to be in prison.

Judges don't want to hear cases. That might mean a they would have to work a little more than 15 hours a week.

The States Attorneys have lost the people that knew how to put bad people in prison. The scholarship kids don't know and don't want to know.

The Feds could prosecute felons for gun crimes, to be sure. But the local structure really needs to get on the ball.

I seem to recall that it is a $200 Fee to the BATF to get authorized and then there is the cost of the threading and the suppressor.

And depending on the barrel length of your pistol, you might need a new barrel.

Illinois legal definition of concealed...A loaded or unloaded handgun carried on or about a person completely or MOSTLY concealed from view of the public.
Care to mention what Dept. you speak of that is obviously violating peoples rights ? The NRA,ISRA and our pro 2-A people will be glad to look into these false arrests and U.S.1983 violations.Oh by the way the 83 violations are usually directed at the individual Officer and dept. So keep doing the dirty work for your masters but don't expect any sympathy when your attorney explains "motion to discover assets"to you. We the forgotten deplorables have a new QB in DC and intend to take our rights back starting now. There are only 02 sides here and you support the bill of rights or are a traitor hiding behind a button,pick a side brother.
