Illinois bill seeks new federal judges to ease case backlog
A House bill and companion Senate measure aim to create one permanent federal judgeship and three temporary positions to relieve Illinois court delays amid rising drug cases. Rep Frank Annunzio and Sen Paul Simon back the plan, while Democrats worry about adding Republican appointees during President Bush's term. Judge George Lindberg of Elgin has pressed for confirmation as he replaces Judge Prentice Marshall in the northern district.

Abortion Clinic Operator Sued Over Incomplete Procedure
McLean County woman Kelly Wilson, 22, of Gridley, sues Dr. Richard Ragsdale and Northern Illinois Women’s Clinic in Rockford for leaving fetal tissue, claiming permanent injuries after an abortion last March. Attorney Maurice Barr says the case hinges on a potentially precedential Supreme Court clinic regulation dispute. Wilson sought the abortion for health reasons after two complicated pregnancies and kept the procedure secret.
