OUCH: Illinois Attorney General Gets a Grade of “C-“. “Is the Attorney General really suggesting that the Illinois Supreme Court should reach a conclusion to strip the elected Governor of the State of his executive powers because his political opponents think it would be best? Can’t the State’s chief legal officer come up with something better? . . . What is most shocking about the AG’s papers is that I expected so much more. Some case authority. Something other than strained arguments based on the dictionary. Something more high-brow than quoting Barack Obama and Harry Reid. The AG may end up winning this case, but not on the strength of her papers. C-”

I’d say it’s more a question of whether the fix is in. But maybe I’m too cynical about Illinois justice.

UPDATE: Bill Quick thinks the fix is in. But he’s such a cynic.
