Agree, it definitely bothers me that compromised judges can’t be removed.It bothers me that people in Illinois (and elsewhere) will look at blatant bribery and shrug their shoulders. It bothers me even more that *no one* will prosecute this. It's seemingly perfectly acceptable. One more reason I fear that this Republic has jumped the shark. When politicians can buy/bribe Supreme Court Judges there can be no Justice nor fairness, can there?

Gives hope that the SCOTUS will hear this case and interject some sanity back into the discussion. The 7th circuit court of appeals "redefined" the so called "assault weapons" saying they are not protected by the 2A. Let's hope the SCOTUS sets a precedent for this type of foolishness.INTERESTS OF AMICI CURIAE
The States of Idaho, Indiana, Alabama, Alaska,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas,
Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, and the
Arizona and Wisconsin Legislatures respectfully
submit this brief as amici curiae in support of
petitioners.1 Amici respect the people’s right to keep
and bear arms, which is “necessary to the security of
a free State.” U.S. CONST. amend. II. Particularly
today, when crime too often goes unchecked, lawabiding citizens need the ability to arm and defend
themselves. They should not be deprived of commonly
used firearms for that purpose.
Although this Court has repeatedly made clear
that the Second Amendment’s protections must be
enforced according to their terms, the Seventh
Circuit’s approach defies the Second Amendment’s
“‘unqualified command.’” New York State Rifle &
Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 32 (2022). Its
decision injects confusion into the law by saying that
firearms and magazines used by many Americans are
not really “Arms” and so may be banned without the
government having to provide any further justification. Its decision permits Illinois to infringe the rights
of countless law-abiding citizens. And its decision
impacts businesses in other States that can no longer
sell the hundreds of types of firearms Illinois bans.
