      Illinois does stuff like this all the time. They ended cash bail a couple of years ago, and legal weed

    Dr Jack Kevorkian would be proud. Holy shit, he isn’t dead. Looked up how to spell his name and he’s still going.

        Maybe they looked up Kardashian instead of Kevorkian.

        Sigh. The internet is getting even worse for search. It was probably google AI slop, even though I know to watch for that. Thanks internet.
