I don't expect the Illinois Supreme Court to do the same as their Wisconsin equivalent and completely strike it down as unconstitutional...

I think the issue is has legislation been passed that gives the governor emergency powers.

Lot's of states grant the governor broad powers once an emergency has been declared.

Yes, it grants him that for 30 days ... Pritkzer's lockdown was declared on March 20th, so that window for him ruling by endless "Executive Order" has long since passed.

And a local judge already ruled accordingly.
