In the meantime, a number of county sheriffs around the state have publicly vowed not to enforce the new law, prompting an open letter signed by 16 state legislators criticizing DuPage County Sheriff Jim Mendrick.
"They cannot pick and choose which laws they enforce. They must enforce them all," said Rep. Maura Hirschauer . "I don't think we're picking and choosing, I think it's a matter of how we're interpreting it," Mendrick said. "I don't think we're interpreting this the same way." Devore, who filed one of the lawsuits, says a judge in Effingham County has scheduled an emergency hearing Wednesday morning on his request for a temporary restraining order which would prevent enforcement of the law.
If any reach the Supreme Court the GOP majority will rule against the ban. Let the cases begin.
Democrats knowingly passed a law that is unconstitutional. It will soon be overturned.
The DuPage Co Sheriff who won't uphold the law because he doesn't 'interpret the law the same way' can F himself. It's not his job to 'interpret' the law, it's his job to uphold the law and breaking his oath to the Constitution of the State of Illinois he can quit or be removed.
