This suit is garbage, of course. It’s not even clear how Missouri would have standing. But I can envision Thomas and Alito saying, in effect, “let’s hear them out.”
do they not have art 4 sec 1 in Missouri??
ol showme asking the wrong branch
scotus can't touch it (in blue) until congress speaks (in yellow)
also applies to Co. ballot opinion which Scotus ignored
that is grounds to Impeach those justices
If you listened to argument or read an analysis of the underlying decision in Murthy v Missouri, the AG is unconstrained by ethical obligations. He should be censured.
Let us stop to honor then-TX Solicitor General Kyle D. Hawkins. He is an ex-Alito clerk & Fed Soc conservative—Stanford students walked out of his talk arguing that DACA was illegal.
But he refused to sign Paxton's original jurisdiction lolsuit to overturn the 2020 election. A moment of honor.
Will Scharf is running to be the MO AG. Scharf has the backing of L. Leo's network along w/ Club for Growth. Bailey's lawfare is to further his career, but it won't work against Scharf because he has been assisting on Trump's defense team on appeals. Bailey is wasting taxpayer $ on several lawsuits.
There was a day in living memory when the Mo AG office was a well-run professional operation. The AGs were politicuans but they let the professionals do the job of representing the State.
But in the last decade or so, it has become this horror show of theatric foolishness.
