Quinn v. Judge update

7235553_1c54b3bad4_oThis morning, oral arguments for Quinn v. Judge were held in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit Court. You can listen to the discussion at the Seventh Circuit Court’s website. That’s Marty Oberman speaking on behalf of the plaintiff.

Early this year, Despres, Schwartz & Geoghegan joined Cohen & Frankel and Law Offices of Martin Oberman in filing an amended lawsuit arguing that the 17th amendment rights of Illinois citizens are violated by the State of Illinois’ refusal to conduct a special election to fill the Senate seat that is temporarily occupied by Roland Burris.

A copy of the amended complaint can be found here.
