State can forbid access to the Courts.

Heard anything?

“State can forbid access to the Courts.”

I’d like to see case law on that. I’m certain the Federal courts would take a very dim view of such a State law.

“Heard anything?”

An article in Crain’s sometime in the last two weeks or so advocating this very course of action. Found it at SecondCityCop of all places. I’m sure it’s being discussed very, very quietly in more than one City Hall around the State.

Chapter 9s have already been filed by a few California entities and the pension plans tossed. I don’t see how the Illinois legislature can stop it, law or no law.

If you know of some Federal case law on it I’d love to see it.
