More Lawsuits Inbound (UPDATE)

Even his own people are telling him there will be lawsuits:

• Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is blocking those who took part in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol from working in state jobs, ignoring President Donald Trump's attempt to offer them a clean slate last week in a sweeping set of pardons and commutations.

  Late Thursday, Pritzker directed the state’s Department of Central Management Services, the state’s primary hiring authority, to restrict hiring of those who took part in the attack on the Capitol by declaring they had taken part in “infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State.”

"...the State."  We remember hearing that a lot when the USSR was still in business.

In the meantime, a few points:

• no one was convicted of insurrection or treason - it was mostly trespassing;
• a pardon wipes out the criminal conviction completely;
• this will affect at most a couple dozen people

And isn't it democrats - especially Illinois democrats who are always saying criminals need second and third chances, good paying employment, and actually hold seminars where those "justice system involved individuals" can apply to have their records expunged, sealed and erased?

But Fata$$ would rather waste taxpayer money on a losing proposition.

UPDATE: from the comments:

• I wonder if Jumbo and his sidekick Attorney General Kwame Raoul have bothered to read the Illinois Human Rights Act. It prevents discrimination against people for a host of reasons among them are ARREST RECORDS.

But no one from the media will ever question Fata$$ about directly violating Illinois Law and the legislature will never find him liable.
