Bloomington physician David Gill's roller coaster bid to get on the November ballot in the 13th Congressional District has suffered a possible fatal blow. 

 

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is denying Gill's request to face off against incumbent Rodney Davis and Decatur Democrat Mark Wicklund. 

 

Gill appealed to the Supreme Court last week the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a lower court order to return him to the ballot. Gill is running out of options, but he has at least one more card to play. 

 

He plans to appeal to a different Supreme Court justice, which is allowed under court rules.
