Does America stand by the Afghan Allies who stood by it?
Mullin once suggested it should. Now he can prove it, I argue in WaPo.

I almost can find a way to agree, in principle, with the point that I think Joe is trying to make. hiding in there somewhere is a real thing to at least consider
But, just objectively, the worst way to phrase this. I mean just horrendous comms work. Hubris is what this is.
Amendment 6 is a threat to our Constitutional Republic. If passed, it will move Missouri drastically toward a direct democracy where anyone with the money and resources can pass legislation and change our state constitution leaving the elected representative powerless

For the last many days, @chuckhatfield, @ASCossette, and the rest of their team have been responding to emergency orders and filing late into the night to protect Missouri's Constitution, winning every time a Supreme Court was involved, both federal and state. Chuck argued three cases in one day back-to-back-to-back at Missouri's Supreme Court and won them all (I am still wondering if that's a state record).
Thank you for your service to the State of Missouri.

A casual observer might think this case is about gerrymandering.
It is not. SCOMO and SCOTUS have unanimously disdained Hoskins and the 8CA because they shamelessly flouted fundamental rules and duties while vociferously and publicly doubling down on deeply misleading arguments
The ENTIRE US Supreme Court criticizes the 8th Circuit. Everyone needs to understand how bad they had to screw up to lose Clarence and Alito?

You might be momentarily shocked. you are dealing with a crazy person. So deep are the violations of the basic norms of human interaction and logic that you pause. how can you enter into argument when all the norms you take for granted are now being weaponized and twisted

Case in point.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SEPTEMBER 25, 2026
Statement from Rick Brattin on U.S. Supreme Court Ruling
(JEFFERSON CITY, MO) – State Senator Rick Brattin has released the following statement about today’s ruling:
“I am grateful to the Eighth Circuit for squarely addressing the merits of this case and stating plainly what common sense and the Constitution require: voters should not choose their nominees under one congressional map and then be forced into entirely different districts for the general election.
Today’s Supreme Court decision is a travesty for Missouri voters and for the integrity of our elections. Missouri will now conduct a congressional primary under one map and a general election under another. Voters who lawfully participated in the August primary will be moved into districts where they had no voice in choosing the nominees who will appear on their ballot in November. This is the most unprecedented form of voter disenfranchisement in American history, and Missouri voters deserve far better.
The responsibility for this chaos rests first and foremost with the Missouri Supreme Court. With the stroke of a pen, it overturned a congressional map passed by the people’s elected legislature and signed by the Governor after that map had already been used to conduct the primary election. The Eighth Circuit recognized the serious constitutional problem that decision created. Missouri voters are now being forced to live with the consequences.
This is part of a dangerous pattern of courts asserting power that belongs to the people and their elected representatives. Judges are not kings, and courts are not legislatures. Our system of government depends upon each branch respecting the constitutional authority of the others. The Missouri Supreme Court abandoned that principle in this case, usurped the authority of Missouri’s duly elected legislative and executive branches, and left Missouri voters paying the price.”

The full order includes heavy criticism of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision. No dissents.
This is a huge win for the rule of law.

I agree that voters deserved consistency and certainty.
Unfortunately, Missouri's Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General decided that rigging the election for a member of their political party was more important than following the law and protecting voters.
It is disappointing that today’s decision by the United States Supreme Court means Missouri will conduct its November general election under a different congressional map than its primary election.
Voters deserved consistency and certainty, and not for the rules to be changed between elections.
Nevertheless, Missouri will follow the Court’s order.
