Oh My!: (2004) Obama Co-Sponsored Legislation Strengthening Illinois 'Stand Your Ground' Law
Illinois Review ^ | July 21, 2013

Posted on 07/22/2013 7:21:48 PM PDT by Cold Case Posse Supporter

The bill unanimously passed the Democrat-controlled Illinois Senate on March 25, 2004 with only one comment, and passed the Democrat-controlled Illinois House in May 2004 with only two votes in opposition. Then-Governor Rod Blagojevich (D) signed it into law.

I think he must’ve thought it meant “Stand Your Ground-and-Pound” Law (as long as the tribesman is on top).

The only thing that can get Obama off the fence is Politics
