Here is an article explaining what factors in to her decision, including of course, politics - meaning how it will affect a possible run by Lisa Madigan for governor:

With an appeal, Madigan could also face the risk of a high-profile defeat in the nation’s highest court.
“Number one, you’re going to lose,” says John Jackson, political scientist at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. “There’s almost no chance the Supreme Court of the United States, as it’s currently composed, is going to overturn (the ruling).
“The smartest thing (for Madigan) to do,” he said, “is to leave it alone. There’s some voters in Chicago who might not like it ... but I think they’re starting to realize they’ve lost the battle.”
