U.S. Supreme Court denies Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart his appeal - won’t step into fight over Backpage sex ads - Sheriff Tom Dart is the MOST SUED SHERIFF IN AMERICA. He has cost the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in judgements against him & his sheriff's office

In addition to all the Hundreds of Millions of dollars in taxpayers paid court settlements and judgements... Think how much Tom Dart paid his cronie attorneys to bring this case to the U.S. Supreme Court... It truly is a joke!

The Supreme Court won’t hear an appeal from an Illinois sheriff who was ordered to stop threatening credit card companies doing business with classified ad website Backpage.com.

The justices on Monday let stand a lower court order that forbids Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart from contacting Visa and MasterCard in his effort to disrupt online sex ads linked to human trafficking.

Dart sent “cease and desist” letters last year urging the credit card companies to stop providing payment services for any ads on the website. The companies complied within 48 hours.

Backpage sued, alleging Dart was illegally interfering with the company’s ability to do business. A federal judge sided with Dart, finding that his letters were protected by the First Amendment. But a federal appeals court reversed that ruling.
