Michael Hughes v. James Dimas, 837 F.3d 807 (7th Cir. 2016). “The district judge dismissed Hughes’ complaint primarily on the grounds that, the Constitution doesn’t require Rushville to comply with state statutes and that anyway a state statute is not enforceable in federal court. But this reasoning misconceives the basis of the suit.”
