Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

The 2nd amendment clearly states a "well regulated militia" is a check on the federal government not an extension. The Governor is given authority in this case. The National Guard should never be used against the welfare of Americans per the Constitution!

The governor should be calling up his own state National Guard under his command NOW, to pre-empt any attempt by Mr T. Their mission s/b to protect citizens from any unidentified masked ICE goons driving without license plates, terrorizing & assaulting citizens in attempted warrantless kidnappings.

Trump doesn't plan on leaving. Hes fortifying blue states to steal votes. This is a continuation of 2020. Republicans have planned a coup. 🚨 recall 2020 when he said he order 100,000 national guard. It was for this not to protect thr capital. National guard are commiting treason.

I'm from Chicago. I don't agree with the ICE deportations, but they're just barely legal enough to not be my lane. If I was deployed to Chicago to support Trump's "martial law" I would wait until I got there with my troopers and get ammo then start fighting anyone trying to actually do illegal shit.

What I see right now, we're just a couple of quick steps away from thuggery occurring. With over 1,200 pardons for an insurrection. Stand back and stand by Goons with ICE as his private Thug Force. In his first term he told people if they broke the law he would pardon him.

I have to ask you, what do you do if you're deployed with ICE and the thugs on American streets? He is already broken Posse Comitatus. It's just the beginning. His Putin verbage is obvious to all. Ever wonder why there were no transcripts of the meetings he took with Putin his first time around?

Repealing the Doctrine changed nothing. Even if the Doctrine were still in effect TODAY, Limbaugh and FOX News would still exist (well, not Limbaugh now...). Cable channels were not subject to the Fairness Doctrine nor were syndicated programs.

the Fairness Doctrine never applied to NEWS in the first place. Such a mandate would have violated the First Amendment. I'm curious though - if the Fairness Doctrine HAD stayed in place, what is it exactly that you think it would do??

It applied to any controversial issues broadcasted — and that certainly included news. But FD, though antiquated, was a basis for attempting to ensure public safety. Reagan and the GOP push corps over people. Greed. So as we see propaganda leading us to hell, when do we protect citizens again?

Where in the Fairness Doctrine did it exclude NEWS? It applied to controversial issues in news segments. The demise of the Fairness Doctrine absolutely gave rise to conservative right wing hate speech and conspiracies. Its intent needs to be revived as we’ve witnessed the impact of propaganda.
