Southern Illinois judge temporarily blocks Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order from applying to Republican state lawmaker who sued

A southern Illinois judge delivered a setback to Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Monday, issuing a temporary injunction allowing Republican state Rep. Darren Bailey to ignore the governor’s stay-at-home order.

The ruling by Clay County Circuit Court Judge Michael McHaney came in a lawsuit filed by Bailey, a Republican from the small town of Xenia, which challenged Pritzker’s authority to issue extended stay-at-home orders under the state’s Emergency Management Act.

In seeking the injunction April 23, Bailey asked the judge to find that the lawmaker was “irreparably harmed each day he is subjected to” Pritzker’s executive order and to enjoin the governor or anyone under his authority “from enforcing the March 20 executive order against Bailey from this date forward.”

Of course Governor Pritzker is challenging the ruling.

1. This Is A State Court

They're light years from court's having anything to do with PINO.
Two levels of state court above this current level.
Fed judges are a long way away.

2. I don't understand what trump has to do with this

He was elected by the voters of Illinois in 2010 and re-elected in 2016 with 74 percent of the vote. He was the democratic nominee and winner.

Your last sentence is a mystery.
