IL Dems' new law - citizens may ONLY file suit against the state from two counties

Now, I’m no constitutional scholar – I only play one here at HotAir – but this sure looks above board and copasetic to me…when I have my Democratic Party power-grab glasses on.
...
Illinois’s Gov. J. B. “Jumbo Burger” Pritzker signed himself a whale of a state law yesterday that went into effect IMMEDIATELY. And, immediately, restricted Illinois citizens from pursuing constitutional claims against their state government unless they filed the lawsuits in one of two, Democratic approved, state sanctioned, Democratic counties – Cook or Sangamon.
So, if you live in any other county, you are a second class citizen of IL.

It's a pretty blatant violation of equal protection rights. My guess is that this law is retaliation for rural counties' judges striking down gun-grabbing laws.
