735 ILCS 110/
Is Prickwrinkle violating State Law? Particularly the Citizen Participation Act:
- Sec. 5. Public policy. Pursuant to the fundamental philosophy of the American constitutional form of government, it is declared to be the public policy of the State of Illinois that the constitutional rights of citizens and organizations to be involved and participate freely in the process of government must be encouraged and safeguarded with great diligence. The information, reports, opinions, claims, arguments, and other expressions provided by citizens are vital to effective law enforcement, the operation of government, the making of public policy and decisions, and the continuation of representative democracy. The laws, courts, and other agencies of this State must provide the utmost protection for the free exercise of these rights of petition, speech, association, and government participation.
Civil actions for money damages have been filed against citizens and organizations of this State as a result of their valid exercise of their constitutional rights to petition, speak freely, associate freely, and otherwise participate in and communicate with government. There has been a disturbing increase in lawsuits termed "Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation" in government or "SLAPPs" as they are popularly called.
The threat of SLAPPs significantly chills and diminishes citizen participation in government, voluntary public service, and the exercise of these important constitutional rights. This abuse of the judicial process can and has been used as a means of intimidating, harassing, or punishing citizens and organizations for involving themselves in public affairs.
Prickwrinkle must be getting legal advice from Kimmie's "also-ran" legal team.

Reed/Prongwinkle in basically a communist--- get in the way and they along with their racist institutions will come after you at gun point--- as she once said know applies to her--- there is a special place in hell for Reed/Prongwinkle
This dude needs to be locked up.
Toni taxwinkle Chicago democrats are a joke on struggling Illinois middle class taxpayers.................
,, State income tax UP 32% .. property taxes UP 20 % .. water tax UP 60% .. now a 70 % soda tax .... Chicago public school taxes UP 20 % ... Plastic bag tax 7 cents per bag ,,Gas .Electric bill taxes at 9 %.each ...
But Chicago has money to build a new basket ball stadium for a private collegefor $$ 150 Million Dollars !!!!
File complaints against the attorneys that file these frivolous lawsuits, hit them with ARDC complaints for violation of this statute and unethical conduct.
Isn't this the Chicago Way?
"Nice Organization, pity if something happens to it."
How about some major SLAPPs against those who organized and sent all those "Bird Dogs" to disrupt the Trump rally here?
Interesting angle, except that a violation of state law would have to be adjudicated in a state court. How would that work out in Illinois, let alone Cook County, where the defendant(s) would be elected officials?
On the other hand, we have these little tidbits from the justice.gov website . . .
https://www.justice.gov/crt/conspiracy-against-rights
TITLE 18, USC §241
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same;...
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Civil rights violation cases can be very, VERY expensive to defend against. In this case, it would seem that Toni Preckwinkle instructed Kim Foxx to file a retaliatory lawsuit against IRMA for exercising their rights under the 1st Amendment (right to petition for redress). 18 USC §241 applies to everyone, public official or private citizen, but since these two are elected officials, this would constitute official oppression as well, as defined under 18 USC §242.

TITLE 18, USC §242
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnaping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Sounds like IRMA could ask their members to pony up some cash to hire a lawyer and go after Preckwinkle and Foxx in Federal Court under 18 USC §242.
This would open the door to a wider DOJ investigation into statewide "patterns and practices" that have gone on for generations. This could make Greylord seem trivial in comparison, and might strip the gears of the Machine beyond repair.
O.T. Hey SCC! It looks like Jackie Wilson (convicted of murders of Officer's William Fahey, and Richard O'brien), has gotten a step closer to being released from prison. He is on a writ from Menard, and is currently housed in Cook County Jail, Division 8.

I'd prefer a "slapp" than a "talk to the hand" in the face any day from either of the two...
"diminishes citizen participation in government, voluntary public service, and the exercise of these important constitutional rights."
hey lets try HAVING A JOB instead of being a sheethead that protests everything and gets supported by Soros...
Well you got SLAPPS intimidating and censoring
people, but you have essentially the same hombres
pulling in votes from the graveyards, and it would come
as no surprise, the jails.
What is Kim foxx' connection to the royal family of Cabrini fame?
Doesn't this lawsuit by Preckwinkle show that they were lying about the original purpose of the tax, that it was for the "public health". This shows it's about the money. This means they lied to the judge and had him uphold the tax under false pretenses. He should immediately reverse his decision and hold the County in contempt of court.
Participation by citizens? You cannot have socialism without a police-state to maintain order.
Does anyone here really think that Toni Bullwinkle cares what we want?
Laws in Illinois are flexible as the appointed judiciary allow them to be.
SLAPPS could only apply to her demand threat of lawsuit for the $17mil she seeks to recover.
Obviously her sharp-as-a-tack merit law dept.(on loan from KimPhoxxx) didn't do the required research.
Porkwinkle is an ignorant old fool.
Back to SugarPopTax hemmin & hawin' Judge Daniel J. Kubasiak -
here's a bit of his pre-appointment Ballotpedia background:
1987-1994: Counsel, Illinois State Treasurer
1983-1987: Chief administrative officer for the Chicago City Council Committee on Finance
1974-1981: First deputy comptroller and First assistant budget director, City of Chicago
If the attorneys for the American Beverage Assoc. were to introduce the obscure and outdated law (destined for repeal), what do you think a Cook County judge would to do with her?
If the sugarpop tax gets tossed or the $17 mil isn't recoverable, it will only have CrankWrinkle squeeze that pinny from some other taxpayer product or service in the future.
Hopefully Voters and the ABA won't be allowed to forget.
Lol @ representative democracy.
This is a Republic, with government of republican form gauranteed constitutionally.
Yeah, premise actually does matter.
Just thinks RAHM could use the same tactic if you file a grievance against the department.

Here is the best part. The plaintiffs can sue Foxx, Preckwinkle, and everyone involved in their Professional and their PERSONAL identities. IOW, if they win, they can take Toni's Savings, House, and Pension.
That is the reason you do not see politicians filing stupid lawsuits like this very often. Their personal wallet can be on the line, not just taxpayer dollars. And they do lose big when they lose. Ask DA Nifong.
Please, Please, Please, Sue, Sue Sue! IRMA cannot poison the "political atmosphere" much more if these idiots have passed a two cent per ounce tax already.
The law means absolutely nothing to Liberal Progressive Communist Marxist Democrats like Toni Prickwinkle. She and her fellow corrupt criminal coharts feel that THEY are above any law. The rest of us had better tow the line or WE will go to jail. The great part of this is that WE let them get away with their criminal acts. These self serving pompous thieves keep getting reelected every election. Even the dead stumble out of the cemetery to cast their ballots for them. And keep in mind that the cost of taking these cases to court doesn't cost Prickwankle a dime. She hires outside lawyers to fight these bullshit cases at outrageous rates. More of our tax money pissed away.
If the attorneys for the American Beverage Assoc. were to introduce the obscure and outdated law (destined for repeal), what do you think a Cook County judge would to do with her?
....
Outdated? It was passed in 2007.
I think she needs to get PIMP SLAPPed!
You are in Layla land if you think Toni is going to get sued and lose everything
So is this reason number 2 precky wanted Foxx in there? To file lawsuits for her? (Reason number 1 being to keep black and brown people out of jail). #preckwinkleandfoxxmustgo!
Taxwinkle dropped the lawsuit today.
