Chicago, IL. (ECWd) –
Yesterday, Illinois’ Governor Pritzker ran to the Federal Courts, Northern and Southern Districts in Illinois, seeking to remove lawsuits over his business closures and stay at home orders from the Illinois Circuit Courts and place them into Federal Courts.
Pritzker has always said this all needed to be handled locally.Β Now he has completely walked that position back on all fronts including the third branch of government being the judicial system. We have been asked if, by removing these to federal court, is he usurping our state’s judicial system and trying to run the state like a complete tyrant?
After the Illinois Supreme Court denied his Emergency Motion for a supervisory order, he apparently has decided on forum shopping and desperately seeking favor in any court he can find.
On May 11, 2020, Governor Pritzker filed Motions in three separate cases for removal from State Circuit Courts and placing in the Federal Courts.
Promenschenkel, dba Poopy’s Pub & Grub v. J.B. Pritzker
A Notice of Removal from the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Carroll County (state case filing here) was filed in this case, alleging the actions filed by Poopy’s arises under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States because “Plaintiffs alleged the Executive Order – which they claim has required them to close their business – violates [their] fundamental liberty interest and offers no procedural or substantive due process as required by the United States and Illinois Constitutions.” Prizker’s Removal was noticed up in the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division.
Dookie Set, Inc. v. J.B. Pritzker
A Notice of Removal from the Fourth Judicial Circuit in Clinton County (state case filing here) was filed in this case, alleging the actions filed by Dookie Set arises under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States because “Plaintiffs alleged the Executive Order – which they claim has required them to close their business – violates [their] fundamental liberty interest and offers no procedural or substantive due process as required by the United States and Illinois Constitutions.” Prizker’s Removal was noticed up in the Southern District of Illinois.
Sonja Harrison dba Visible Changes v. J.B. Pritzker
A Notice of Removal from the Fourth Judicial Circuit in Clay County (state case filing here and its brief) was filed in this case, alleging the actions filed by Visible Changes arises under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States because “Plaintiffs alleged the Executive Order – which they claim has required her to close her hair salon business – violates [her] fundamental liberty interest and offers no procedural or substantive due process as required by the United States and Illinois Constitutions.” Prizker’s Removal was noticed up in the Southern District of Illinois.
