so absurd.

The State Constitutionally runs it's own elections. And the State high court said no gerrymander. Does a federal court really even have jurisdiction?

Intrastate redistricting is for the state. Constitutional requirements are being bastardized by the right against Missouri Constitution. The "supremacy application" in the Missouri filings behaves exactly like a procedural and jurisdictional pretzel.

The State through its Supreme Court has determined its chosen manner...where's the standing

How? I thought the SCOTUS stay stopped this nonsense for this election. Or do they think then can flip 3 justices?

Oh ffs, enough of this CRAP

FFS!

FFS....

A blatant abuse of the state slogan: "Show Me" 🙈 🙉 🙊 ⚖️

I thought the Supreme Court had already said which map would be used.

The nation’s highest court will now be tasked with deciding whether a state supreme court gets the last word on what that state’s laws mean, a simple question for all but the most sweaty and craven of hacks

I'm so sick of this shit. Justice is dying a slow and painful death in our country.

Which was always going to be the case.

Because of a prior US Supreme Court decision, Missouri will still hold its general election under the map used in the 2024 elections. The Supreme Court has already cleared the way twice for the older map to be used in November, and ballots were mailed to overseas and military voters last week.

How corrupt is the 8th circuit?

Not sure which Missouri district map actually applies to your ballot right now? That's exactly the problem Civilian solves — your exact ballot, every race explained in plain English, with sources. apps.apple.com/us/app/civil...

Why is 8th Circuit's ruling relevant if the SC has already weighed in?

This is utterly ridiculous

The relentlessness of the right wing is their super power.

Isn't the election in less than six weeks?

“…we’re in for some chaotic headlines & lots of wasted effort by a bunch of judges and lawyers, but I just don’t see this ending with a change to the status quo- in which Missouri is using, and will use, its 2022 map this cycle If anything, that makes this ruling even more insane.” -Steve Vladeck

The fascist GOP is a chicken running around with its head cut off. Sad, pathetic desperation of a dying party.

No matter if you are far left or right, the folks you put in charge with your vote are telling you to do what they say. What happened to For the people, and By the people?

This is why judges matter so much. If you put in corrupt judges they corrupt the system. The fact that you need judges more corrupt than the 6 Republicans on the supreme court and the Missouri Supreme court is a bit scary.

If the Supreme Court has not stayed or otherwise altered the permanent injunction by that time, Secretary Hoskins and all others bound by this judgment must fully implement the 2025 map for the November 2026 general election.

Some judges need to be retired with extreme prejudice.

🙀😱

Just prepping the level of smoke show they can run for next potus election so they can pull shit right before elections than claim the election was bogus afterward so scotus can nullify lawfully cast votes.
