"For now"???The Illinois GOP filed a lawsuit in federal court in mid-June arguing that the state was treating political rallies differently than church services or Black Lives Matter demonstrations.
On Friday, the party sought an emergency injunction against [Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s executive order banning large political gatherings due to the coronavirus pandemic]. They argue that the upcoming election makes their case urgent and time-sensitive.
[...]
[Justice Brett] Kavanaugh rejected their application without a comment.
The rejection keeps in place a ruling by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, an Obama nominee, who denied the party’s motion for an injunction because the “Plaintiffs’ likelihood of success on the merits is less than negligible and the balance of harms weighs heavily against Plaintiffs.”
“For now, the Northwest Side GOP Club will respect Justice Kavanaugh‘s denial of an emergency injunction,” Chairman Matt Podgorski, one of the plaintiffs in the case, told the Washington Examiner Saturday.
