the chief justice issued an interim โadministrative stayโ and gave challengers until Friday to file their brief. The full Court is expected to weigh in soon in whatโs shaping up to be a case over presidential authority vs. Congressโs constitutional power of the purse.

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City.
He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground?
