The Pensions are un-renegotiable. They are wholly irrevocable. They are etched into constitutional stone.

Someone should file suit in Federal court alleging that Illinois' constitutional guarantee is a system of peonage and violates Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution guaranteeing a republican form of government.

As the Illinois SCOTUS reads it, the pension guarantee establishes public employees as noblemen entitled to feudal dues in perpetuity, regardless of any future election.
