DOJ has filed a Statement of Interest in an Illinois case challenging more general restrictions imposed by Governor J.B. Pritzker. The DOJ position is that the Governor’s last minute removal of the case from state to federal court, on the eve of a decision in state court, was improper.

Be sweet if Pritzker ended up being yet another jailed Illinois governor. The state has quite a track record. Of course a small problem with Pritzker is he would need a double-wide cell.

but the more important aspect of the case is how the Governor feared a negative state court decision so he pulled the case, likely improperly, up to federal court at the last minute.

He can't do that.
Oh yes he can. He is a Democrat. They judge shop and court shop all the time.
