This is another reason why I moved out from Shitcago (Born / Raised) last Spring.

They set up "safe space" in so many universities.

Now they are passing a law saying citizens can be held in "safe spaces". Did they use the blacks and gays to create mini jails?

to exercise all other powers as 20 conservators of the peace prescribed by State and corporate 21 authorities

"Prescriped by... ...Corporate authorities"

I wonder if there is anything interesting in this assignment of corporate authority. What exactly is corporate authority, and why would it be useful for a General Assembly person to have it.

Corporate authority (from legal-lingo.net):

1. The power rightfully wielded by officers of a corporation.
2. In some jurisdictions, a municipal officer, esp. one empowered to represent the municipality in certain statutory matters.

Does the second definition mean judges? Could this give Assembly people the rights of both police and judges? If so, we should add "executioner" on there. Makes it all nice and tidy.

I also wonder if there might be something there about the corporate nature of our "republic."

I can't find anyone apart from "uncle sam's children" talking about it, that's true. I found one other link which listed that it was introduced by one Curtis J. Tarver, II Illinois, Representative, Democrat, District 25. Do you think it has any support?

It’s sad how so many bills go under the radar that the average person isn’t aware of

New York passed Gulags in HB 158 or something, I have no idea what the number is all I know is that its similar.
