This week, Illinois joined states across the country in passing a historic gun violence prevention package. This would not have been possible without the work of grassroots organizers, survivors and their families, and lawmakers who channeled their anguish into bold action.
@BarackObama My county sheriff says the law is unconstitutional and he’s not going to enforce it!
@bannerite @BarackObama Supporters of "Rule of Law," except when they don't like it.
@bannerite @BarackObama Pritzer will push this and if others don't obide by the rules of the law there will be consequences, I think Gov Pritzker is doing something good for our state.
@bannerite @BarackObama Same in Rockford, IL
@bannerite @BarackObama God forbid a sheriff put the constitution first. He should be stripped of title and rank!
@bannerite @BarackObama For starters it’s up to the courts to rule on a law’s constitutionality. From there, elected officials take an oath to uphold all the laws. If they can’t abide a law, the option is to resign in protest- or be removed, preferably in handcuffs
@bannerite @BarackObama Great job on him. This is unconstitutional and shouldn’t be enforced.
