The Cases
There were four concurrent cases relating to the march.
"Collin v. O’Malley brought in Federal Court
Suit to march in Chicago without paying...prohibitive insurance policies Skokie v. NSPA brought in State Court Suit to enjoin NSPA from marching in Skokie Collin v. Smith brought in Federal Court Suit challenging constitutionality of public display ordinances Goldstein v. Collin brought in State Court Suit for pseudo-intentional infliction of emotional distress" -Michael Burney, Stephanie Fajuri, and Adam Savin |
The Bills
When it became clear that the courts were going to uphold the rights of the NSPA to demonstrate, Illinois legislators tried to pass bills that would keep the NSPA out of Skokie.
"... Illinois State Senators proposed legislation that would have had the same effect as the challenged Skokie ordinances.
Senators knew that the laws would likely be overturned if challenged, but it would keep the NSPA out of for a couple more months. The Bills passed in the Senate but were defeated in the Illinois House." -Michael Burney, Stephanie Fajuri, and Adam Savin |
