Check out Illinois Compiled Statutes 720, 5/32-11: "If a person wickedly and willfully excites and stirs up actions or quarrels between the people of this State with a view to promote strife and contention, he or she is guilty of the petty offense of common barratry; and if he or she is an attorney at law, he or she shall be suspended from the practice of his or her profession, for any time not exceeding 6 months." :eek::D:p:rolleyes: Gee it's a wonder we have any attorney's in Illinois who have not been suspended, present company excepted of course. :D Gee I guess I'll have to stop referring to myself as a barrister. :D;)

This explains why MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN aren't located in IL.
