You mean there might be even more commercials?

The following item, from today's Chicago Public Square, caught my attention:
■ A federal judge has at least temporarily blocked Illinois laws limiting political contributions to judicial races—potentially unleashing what the Tribune calls “a deluge of cash into two hotly contested races for … the state’s highest court.”
The linked article discusses, but does not link to, the October 14, 2022 Memorandum Opinion and Order of U.S. District Judge John J. Tharp, Jr. in Chancey v. Illinois State Board of Elections, 22 CV 04043. Here's the link.

Just what we need: More outrageous nonsense about the State Supreme Court candidates in the newly-reconstituted Second and Third Judicial Districts.

I didn't think it was possible to buy any more airtime... but I fear I may be proved wrong.
