Does adulthood begin at 26 now? Chief judge in Chicago wants to add new court branch for young adults

 Cook County (Chicago) Chief Judge Timothy Evans, the Illinois Supreme Court Newsletter reports, says a special court should be created, a third branch, for "adults" between 18 and 26. 

There already is a juvenile criminal court and one for everyone else. "The time has come for the establishment of a third branch of courts at the circuit court level in the State of Illinois," Evans, a former alderman and onetime Chicago mayoral candidate writes, "a court that recognizes the intermediate stage of biological and social development between children and mature adults."

So young adult brains can't fathom between right and wrong? Perhaps they shouldn't be trusted to vote either? Or be allowed to purchase alchohol until turning 26? That age, thanks to the ObamaCare provision allowing parents to keep their grown-up children on their health insurance plans, is shaping up to be the new normal for adulthood. 

While we're at it lets stop these "adults" from entering into contracts too. That would include of course renting or buying property, as well as financing or leasing a motor vehicle. Okay, I don't support any of those things. But I am vehemently opposed to adding a third branch of criminal courts to the two we have in Illinois.

As the old expession goes, "Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time."
