Amazing win! The Missouri Supreme Court found Secretary of State Denny Hoskins in civil contempt after he continued directing election officials to use the state’s new congressional map despite the court’s order. Hoskins has since purged the contempt by directing local election

Excellent. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around Kavanaugh doing the right thing.

They ready to have him detained by someone, anyone?

Can he be jailed for contempt & replaced for the duration by somebody who'll obey the law?

This is great to read yet at the same time, there is no punitive action other than "being held in contempt." Attorneys are held in contempt every week, somewhere. Without accountibility, without some sort of punitive action, who cares? Being held in contempt in this era is meaningless without pain

Good! Sick of these freaks believing that court orders pertain to "other people" They do this 💩 because they believe that this lawless, criminal regime will save them from all they do He should also be held in contempt for that hideous jacket - my gawd, these people are gross in every way

"held...in contempt..." But I'm guessing that does not mean he was held in jail. Too many GOP lawbreakers are avoiding handcuffs and orange jumpsuits. That's not how a society advances respect for the law.

This morning I heard that Republicans in Missouri wanted to impeach Missouri Supreme Court Justices that wouldn’t let them use gerrymandered maps. Denny Hoskins should be in jail.
