Minnesota Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Democrats Amid Legislative Power Struggle
The Minnesota Supreme Court has made a significant ruling siding with the Democratic Farmer Labor Party (DFL) in a contentious battle over control of the state House of Representatives. The court determined that a quorum of 68 members is necessary for the House to conduct business, thereby invalidating recent actions taken by House Republicans who only had 67 members present. This ruling has sparked discussions about the ongoing chaos within the Minnesota legislature, as Democratic lawmakers continue to boycott sessions in protest of what they describe as a power grab by the GOP. The decision has led to questions about the future of the legislative session, as well as the overall functionality of the House amidst this partisan conflict.
