The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

From the article:
"Under the new system, defendants will appear for two hearings: an initial hearing, also known as a conditions hearing, and, if prosecutors decide to pursue detention, another hearing designed to provide a more comprehensive look at whether someone should be released or detained pretrial."

As grossly corrupt as Illinois (and especially Chicago) is, does anyone truly think judges will resist political pressure and other... ahem.. incentives to summarily release violent perps "of color," in the name of "equity?"

But then... Illinois voters, knowing what this abomination meant for them, still reelected Pritzker 55%-42% in November, so they're apparently OK with it all.
