"Everyone aboard on the Gerry-Go-Round

Some seats will rise up while some others crash down

If the SCOTUS won't dance, Gotta use the old lines

And they already told ya, not once but TWO TIMES!..."

(PPPS: From the same song

"Prisons will crumble and governments will fall

It's the order of freedom to be preceded by walls

Cause the truth would be worthless if no one ever lied

So we carry our shame in the interest of pride"

As a Missourian, I don't think this "purges" Hoskins in any way, shape, or form for his actions. He still attempted to ratfuck the state by going to the Eastern District of MO in the first place. He and Hanaway can both eat the biggest bags of dicks.

I think the Darth Vader theme woulda played better for the march of idiots.

What followed the words very briefly was neither.

Laughing. I am glad to hear this, though.

This is some confederate bullshit if I've ever seen it.

Ta, Dok. A *very* lucky break for Hoskins, and completely undeserved. I'm a trombonist, but I'm in Zohran Mamdani's NYC, not in Missouri, thank all the old gods and the new.

Since Trump is all about renaming states, lets just call Missouri "Ashcroft," from now on and be done with it.

I live here in the eastern part of Missouri and every day I wish Gov. Pritzker could annex St. Louis City and parts of St. Louis County. We live in constant misery with our governor and legislature. Their only intent is to show the other states how corrupt and backward the state truly is. I was born and raised in Chicago and miss it every day :(

Thomas B.'s avatar

I am a born and bred St. Louisan, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish I had Pritzker as my governor! We have lots to offer, except for our utterly rank public officials.

When reporting news about doings of the Court I kinda wish the authors would avoid talks about Stays and Continuances and instead summarize that that means. Dok did pretty good on this. SCOTUS rules Missouri had to use the 2022, ungerrymandered map, which is a lot easier to understand than saying this courted stayed the decision of another court that stayed a decision that a third court had stayed,

It drives me crazy when journalists use the equivalent of double or even triple negatives in their headlines about judicial decisions.

I wonder when Hoskins and Hanaway come up for election? Here in WA we have been fortunate in that our WA Secretaries of State have been very professional about elections and the districting commissions have attempted to create fair maps.

Marlon Rando's avatar

Not soon enough, and you are indeed fortunate. It's what Missouri is fighting for.

Anybody else wondering whether the fascist SCOTUS6 are trying to butter us up before aiding/ abetting mayhem via the USPS

So what does that do to the primary election results, where candidates won the nominations in districts that don't exist anymore? Do they go back and count who would have won their primaries if the particular voting precincts were in the old districts?

“Ass Trumpet” is name we use for DJT around Arlo’s house.
