The United States Supreme Court in the 1940s ruled that Illinois has no provision for appealing a denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpusand therefore all appeals must go directly to the U.S Supreme Court. Federal judges regarding Illinois cases consistently defy this U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
Whistle blowers and pro se defendants in Illinois rarely use petitions for writ of habeas corpus.
I discovered the reason for this rare use of one of our most important constitutional rights is that habeas has essentially been suspended in Illinois both through the Illinois statutes, 735 ILCS Article X and because of actions by the federal courts - see Constitutional suspension clause at Article 1 Section 9 that states that the right to petition for the great writ (habeas corpus) cannot be suspended except in times of war.
Read about illegal denial of federal habeas petitions by Judge David H. Coar.
You will see this is clear after reading more. I discovered this fact after filing habeas petitions in several unlawful arrests including one for trespass when I was never given notice and therefore the charge was facially invalid, as well as in a Medicaid fraud case by IL Attorney General Lisa Madigan, where I was found not guilty by jury trial, but my habeas previously had been denied - despite the fact that the case was null and void for lack of jurisdiction because Illinois is one of six states where the attorney general has no jurisdiction to prosecute Medicaid fraud and must refer it to the U.S. Attorney.
The Illinois State Police Medicaid Fraud Control Unit which is jointly staffed by members of the Illinois Attorney General's office wrote in their applications for re-certification and funding under federal law to the U.S. - DHHS that Illinois is one of six states where the attorney general has no jurisdiction to prosecute Medicaid or Medicare fraud and that they refer cases to the U.S. Attorney.
I received these applications in 2010 after a 2006 Freedom of Information Act Request to US-DHHS. I made the same request to the IL State Police and they are still in defiance of the IL FOIA Statute and have not provided me these documents.
It is obvious that the only reason I obtained this evidence that the IL-MFCU and IL Attorney General have fraudulently obtained millions from the US-DHHS to prosecute Medicaid fraud - not surprisingly only against whistle blowers, was that President Obama issued an executive order that agencies must answer FOIA requests. President Bush had quashed responses to such requests in the past.
However as I wrote in my previous post, the IL Attorney General illegally uses Medicaid prosecutions by her alone to retaliate against whistle blowers against government corruption. What better way to discredit a witness than to declare them a criminal?
Please notify the media and urge an investigative report.
I call for an investigation of this by the U.S. Attorney and Federal Judicial Conference.
Please write letters to USA Eric Holder and urge an investigation ASAP.

- the fraudulent obtaining of millions from the US-DHHS by the IL MFCU and AG for these illegal prosecutions;
- the suspension of right to federal petition for writ of habeas corpus in IL in violation of US Supreme Court holding in Woods v. Niersheimer (1946) 328 u.S. 211, 66 S.Ct. 996, 90 L.Ed 1177.
Please remember to reference my posts here and my blog where I document this referenced above and where I document corruption of Cook County Judges at http://cookcountyjudges.wordpress.com .
I do not know if these illegal acts by Judge Coar and other federal judges in IL are intentional or through ignorance and incompetence.
For more information contact me and see:
Illinois petition for habeas corpus re bogus trespass case- denied because in Illinois the law has raped the right to habeas corpus and when one is out on bail Illinois considers that you are "not in custody", although federal courts consider you in custody. Courts have no jurisdiction to hear habeas petitions unless one is "in custody" so the state judge appropriately dismissed the petition, thereby exhausting state remedies. Judge Coar dismissed the federal habeas petition that was filed following this dismissal by the state judge, stating that the defendant had "not exhausted state remedies", a false statement in violation of United States Supreme Court holdings referenced in the above link.
Corruption in Illinois including discussion of IL Attorney General phony and illegal prosecutions against legitimate providers of mental health services to Medicaid patients by whistle blowers against government corruption.
