Madigan pushed back in Sangamon County courts Monday with a 58-page response saying the Governor's suit should be thrown out and hinted that he just may have gone too far by filing a lawsuit. . . the General Assembly will return next week for a two-week fall veto session.
"The governor's actions are far beyond the bounds of political gamesmanship," Madigan wrote in a 58-page response to the lawsuit, which Gov. Rod Blagojevich slapped on him a month ago for refusing to call special sessions at the specific times Blagojevich wanted during the General Assembly's record-breaking budget stalemate.
"Though his means may be the legal mechanism of a lawsuit, his ends traverse into a dark realm that ultimately seeks to replace the rule of law with rule by a single man," said the response filed Monday in Sangamon County Circuit Court.
