IANAL, but Illinois looks like it has a very messed up legal landscape.

You have one judge ruling that AUUW is unconstitutional - unrelated to Moore. You have another judge who goes out of his or her way to say that the Moore decision is not binding on Illinois courts, in a situation that Moore wouldn't necesarily have applied to (convicted felon with a firearm).

I'm wondering how this gets sorted out. If the state appeals People vs Mosely, could the case even be heard before the June 9th deadline?

It seems like it will be a mess at least until June 9th, but what happens then?
