The news just got even better from Illinois. Moments ago, the Illinois State Senate, passed SB 3539, the bill to repeal the state's death penalty, on a 32-25 vote!
This follows action this morning, when the Senate Judiciary Committee passed the bill on a 7-4 vote. This truly is a day long-awaited in Illinois, across the country, and around the world. After 10 years of moratorium, Illinois' state legislature has spoken clearly -- both houses have passed abolition.
