This is great news. Use the state personnel code to defeat legal challenges.

Criminal, violent azzes don't deserve public jobs.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is blocking those who took part in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol from working in state jobs, ignoring President Donald Trump's attempt to offer them a clean slate last week in a sweeping set of pardons and commutations.

Late Thursday, Pritzker directed the state’s Department of Central Management Services, the state’s primary hiring authority, to restrict hiring of those who took part in the attack on the Capitol by declaring they had taken part in “infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State.”

“These rioters attacked law enforcement officers protecting people in the Capitol, disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, and undermined bedrock principles of American democracy,” Pritzker said in a written directive obtained by NBC News. “Our State workforce must reflect the values of Illinois and demonstrate honesty, integrity, and loyalty to serving the taxpayers. No one who attempts to overthrow a government should serve in government.”

Pritzker’s new directive marks the first and most direct pushback to Trump’s power spree that has tested the bounds of presidential authority through a fray of executive orders, including some that have drawn judicial rebuke. The Democratic governor of the Midwestern blue state has for years acted as an antagonist to Trump.

Pritzker's directive is likely to draw legal challenges, but sources familiar with it said that working through the personnel code was thought to serve as the best legal footing should it face court pushback.

Will this apply to anyone with an arrest at a BLM/Anti-fa protest?

Not legal

Does not matter. They did not attack the Capitol or America.

Anyone who defends J6 criminals are shitazzes with them.

So attacking someone's business or local cops is OK in your book?

Do you not see the hypocrisy here?

 

[Bootstraps]

Is there an equal application of standards being applied to those charged with crimes while participating in the 2020 riots?

 

[Blaster]

Does not matter. They did not attack the Capitol or America.

Who the fuck cares?

 

[Natural Citizen]

The State level is the favorable hill to duke it out on anyway.

Sucks that it's Illinois, though. They're all pretty much like Pritzker.

It is rather funny that he was OK with illegals working in law enforcement.

Educate yourself. Federal buildings with federal employees in them are America. The democrat BLM/Antifa thugs in Portland were arsonists as well. Try again donkey.

So you admit it is against the law but applaud the attempt to evade it?

On the brighter side, this may help Illinois to go bankrupt sooner.

Yours, yes. Attacking the Capitol is far worse.

A few anti-discrimination lawsuits should take care of that if Illinois hires on the merit system in any way. Being such a blue state, I doubt they do though. In which case the J6 pardoned people probably would have been denied employment anyway.

They're not, they're pardoned.

 

[Concerned American]

Attacking the Capitol is far worse.

A three hour riot is not an attack on the capitol.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Who the fuck cares?

The State of Illinois civil service. No jobs there for you, Blaster.

Who was?

Tell that to the cops on the line at all those months of riots, or the people that lost their businesses.

You worship government, so of course you get in a snit when anything government does gets even inconvenienced.

Nothing that day that happened changed anything in the transfer of power. Biden was sworn in the exact second he was supposed to be.
