Illinois is one of only eight states that elect Supreme Court justices, and with the balance of power on the line in this year’s election, plenty of attention is being paid to two suburban races.
Both O’Brien and Rochford have run advertisements promoting their pro-abortion access stances, with O’Brien arguing that Burke supports restricting access to the procedure.
“We as judges cannot express our personal views about issues that may come before the court because they may be seen as committing us to a particular position,” he said in a statement earlier this year.Abortion isn’t the only issue on TV airwaves. Conservative groups have gone after Rochford and O’Brien for their links to former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, who is currently under indictment for his role in a wide-ranging scandal involving ComEd.
“It’s not only abortion rights, but it’s gun registration rights ,” he said. “If there are challenges to the new ‘SAFE-T Act,’ in terms of bail reform, those will end up before the new Illinois Supreme Court as well.”
