"I just have one question: what comes next? After we've discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgendar people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities - once we've ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends - After that, when the problems we started with are still there staring at us in the face - what comes next?" "I swore the following oath on Abraham Lincoln's bible: I do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the state of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor .... according to the best of my ability" "My oath is to the constitution of our state and of our country. We don't have kings in America - and I don't intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions - but in deference to my obligations." - JB Pritzker (Governor of Illinois)
