Supreme Court Denies Request From Illinois GOP Seeking to Hold Large Political Rallies
July 6, 2020

The Trump administration picked up two major immigration victories last week at the U.S. Supreme Court.
But over the weekend, conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh shocked many and sided with liberals in a case that could have major implications on November’s election.
The Supreme Court has denied an emergency request from Illinois Republicans seeking to block a state measure that bars large gatherings amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Epoch Times reports:
Several Illinois Republican organizations had asked the nation’s top court to intervene after lower courts denied their request to immediately block enforcement of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s executive order that prohibits gatherings of more than 50 people. They argued the governor had been favoring one category of speech over another by providing exemptions to the prohibition to religious gatherings and allowing Black Lives Matter protests but not political gatherings.
The Illinois Republican Party and three local GOP organizations—Will County Republican Central Committee, Schaumberg Township Republican Organization, and Northwest Side GOP Club—were seeking to hold political party events larger than 50 people, including rallies, fundraisers, and a picnic on July 4. They sued Pritzker in mid-June, alleging that the executive order violates their rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
“Though fighting COVID-19 is doubtless a compelling state interest, the Governor’s policy fails narrow tailoring because it treats similarly situated speakers differently. The First and Fourteenth Amendments both guarantee equal treatment of similar speakers,” the groups wrote in their application to the court. “Government may no more favor one particular speaker or category of speech than it may target one for disfavor.”
