That is certainly true in Illinois.
Governor J.B. Pritzker has just signed a bill into law which limits constitutional challenges to state laws to just two counties: the one surrounding Chicago and the one surrounding the capital, Springfield.
It is now impossible to approach a court in any of the other 100 counties to contest a constitutionally questionable law.
The (((governor))) and his allies in the Assembly are cementing their control over the political process and restricting any redress to their own power centers—squeezing what little political and judicial access White Illinoisans still have.
This system must be removed.
Gov Pritzker signs a law to prevent his policies from being overturned in court.
@GovPritzker found a way around the judges who won't bow down to him.
The courts are supposed to provide protection from absurd mandates.
Recall the mask mandate? https://t.co/ZV9PvzsKnm

Progressives are on the march in Illinois, and they want to make sure their new policies can’t be overturned in state court. Solution: Pass a law that requires any constitutional challenge to a state law, rule or executive order to be filed in only two counties.
