7th Circuit Orders Injunction Against Illinois Ban on Recording Cops
11th May 2012
Today the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit ordered a preliminary injunction barring Cook County from enforcing the Illinois Eavesdopping Act against “people who openly record police officers performing their official duties in public.” The law, the strictest of its kind in the country, makes such recording a Class 1 felony, punishable by four to 15 years in prison.
Well, let’s see what the blue states are up to these days.
- Michigan adopts state socialism, and descends into anarchy, with race war around the corner. Check.
- Illinois adopts fascism (i.e. state socialism in a Clever Plastic Disguise), and turns into a police state. Check.
- Both states are reliably Democrat. Check.
Hmmm. No surprises here. Well, maybe there’s something on television….

I’m curious as to exactly what ‘state socialism’ has been recently adopted by Michigan. (And to what anarchy you are referring.) Care to cite some instances? As for a coming race war, that possibility are neither unique to Michigan nor correlated to either ‘state socialism’ or ‘anarchy’, although it could lead to the latter.
And last I looked, we elected a Republican governor, not to mention the ongoing election-year focus on Michigan as a ‘battleground state’. Reliably Democrat? Hardly.
Perhaps one should actually have some facts in hand before making assertions. Parroting the right-wing Preconception Manual does not become you.
