Judge blocks 30-day extension of Illinois stay-at-home order

A southern Illinois judge on Monday blocked Governor J.B. Pritzker's 30-day extension of the state's stay-at-home order, granting a temporary restraining order sought by a Republican state lawmaker who argued the governor overstepped his authority, CBS Chicago reports. Pritzker, however, has vowed to appeal the ruling.

CBS affiliate WCIA-TV reports Clay County Circuit Court Judge Michael McHaney granted a restraining order to temporarily block the governor's latest executive order Monday afternoon. While the judge's ruling only spares Bailey from the extended stay-at-home order, it does open the door for others in Illinois to join the lawsuit, or file their own.

Pritzker said the state Attorney General's Office will appeal the ruling.

"My team and I will fight this legal battle to the furthest extent possible, to ensure the public health and commonsense, and that those prevail," he said. "This ruling has put the people of Illinois at risk. I sincerely hope that this matter will be brought to a swift resolution so that we can go back to placing our undivided attention on the work of keeping people safe."

3. Ah,

One of those death dealing judges. The kind that would have fit well into the Spanish Inquisition teams.

A body bag packer. A mortician with a gavel. A stochastic serial killer and minion of Thantos. A judiciary bobble-head of Hades.
