That’s all well and good, but we don’t use the law in Cal. We have sanctuary cities, taxes called fees, and all kinds of BS. The last person to bring up the constitution in Sacramento was dragged away and never heard from again in 1992.
The Illinois Democrat Party is a RICO violation.
State of Illinois

Since when did law matter in Illinois?
The first step in remedying that is to make it matter again to conservatives.
Any conservatives in Illinois?
1.3 million of them voted for Alan Keyes a few years back.
So, yes, there are many conservatives in Illinois. They’re just demoralized by completely corrupt Republican “leadership.”
How many corrupt Republicans are left in Illinois?
More than a few.
Good night.
In like fashion, you can call a communist a Democrat and they’re still a communist.
Dorodungo. :)
The Communist Party has been on the ballot for years. When I first saw Gus Hall (decades ago) I was like .. WTF? A commie on the ballot.
How high can you count?
It’s in the Illinois Code. If you can show us a revision, please do.
Don't get me wrong. I don't deny its there as posted.
But since the Communist Party has been on the ballot for years it just seems to me that the statute would have been revised. This one is from 1943 and I can't believe it hasn't been revised/changed or just repealed in all these years. 'Heck' as far as I'm concerned the Communist (and Socialist) Party should be outlawed and any member in prison for sedition. But they aren't.
And I have ventured through our illustrious IL Code (Statutes) many times in the past (1), its a mess. Trying to find a current statute takes the patience of Job.
(1) When new Gun Legislation is proposed by some Chicago lackey I try to find it and the current statute that's affected and would be revised.
Then many states , all Blue, are illegal, criminal and oh yes, just corrupt. Seems to be all Dems, doesn’t it?
It is just amazing how the party that claims to be the party of the common man is also corrupt to its core.
