Pritzker's Illinois shelter-in-place order overturned after lawsuit from downstate Republican legislator succeeds

Today a rare thing happened. Rank-and-file Illinoisans scored a victory thanks to state Rep. Darren Bailey (R-Xenia).

From ABC Chicago:

A judge has overturned Gov. JB Pritzker's extended stay-at-home order in a bombshell ruling.

Downstate Republican State Representative Darren Bailey filed a lawsuit last week challenging the governor's authority to issue a stay-at-home order.

On Monday, a judge ruled in favor of the lawsuit, granting a temporary restraining order blocking the governor's extended stay-at-home order which was to take effect Friday and run through the end of May. The order had loosened restrictions on some businesses and allowed for some outdoor recreation to resume.

Rep. Bailey filed the lawsuit in Clay County challenging the order's legality last week. In a statement, Bailey said: "Enough is enough. I filed this lawsuit on behalf of myself and my constituents who are ready to go back to work and resume a normal life."
