The Missouri Supreme Court formally found Hoskins in contempt for defying its order, but Chief Justice Powell ruled that Hoskins had purged the contempt by directing local election officials to use the 2022 congressional map for November.
“The court finds the secretary has since corrected his contemptuous conduct by directing all local election authorities to use the 2022 congressional district map. The secretary, therefore, has purged himself of said contempt.”

BREAKING: The Missouri Supreme Court has held Secretary of State Denny Hoskins in contempt of court for defying an order blocking a gerrymandered GOP map for the midterms — but they also concluded that he is now in compliance with their order. More to come.

Great news. What does that mean, really? Will there be any consequences or just a “stop doing that.” To which they will say, “Make me.” Lather, rinse, repeat.
-
The Republican Political Party has already confirmed over and over they will not comply with state, federal or civil laws. Or even international laws. They do not live in the U.S. ~ or on this planet, on the same terms as the rest of us.

The Missouri Supreme Court on Thursday found Secretary of State Denny Hoskins in contempt for directing local election officials to use an illegal congressional map, but ultimately ruled he remedied the contempt by reversing his directive. #moleg #mogov

Missouri Republicans delivered a threat to their own state Supreme Court this week that if Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is held in contempt, the justices could lose their jobs.

Now they should assign him that capital sentence he rightfully deserves for stealing votes

He should be held in contempt. He doesn’t believe in the law or the courts. cbwrong.
-
I am proud of the S Ct justices for holding this line. The rule of law wins here. Hoskins is awful. I have no other descriptor. Awful.
-
Good. Now more of this at federal level.
-
History tells us that when the rule of law is not enforced or justice is otherwise denied, the people will take the matter into their own hands to rectify their grievance. It usually ends up much worse for the offender in those cases. Bring on the pitchforks and hemp!
-
So apparently the Missouri legislature sent a letter to the Missouri Supreme Court justices telling them if they held him in contempt that they were going to try to impeach them all.
-
Like with those felonies that the current White House squatter was convicted of.
-
To be expected when a CPA tries to be a constitutional law attorney.

“The court finds the secretary has since corrected his contemptuous conduct by directing all local election authorities to use the 2022 congressional district map. The secretary, therefore, has purged himself of said contempt."
-
They are still thinking about some kind of "punishment" for him after he backed down. We shall see ...
-
Thanks for everything you did to help us!
-
It is a moot point to try and remove a state Supreme Court Justice in MO. Neither the governor or the legislators have a say in who is appointed to those positions. MO maga legislators knew that the map was illegal when they voted for it! Kehoe knew it was illegal when he signed it.
-
Well, at least his hair will look good as he STABS Americans in the back.
-
I have lost faith in justice so doubt he will be punished!
-
Sleazy fucking Rapeublicans!! Vote them all out, then investigate, charge, prosecute, convict, and sentence them. Also squeeze them hard so they RAT out all the higher-up corrupt sleazeballs. CC

Then let him off with a press conference. That’s not enough to stop the lawlessness.

If only everyone received consequences......maybe this would change for the better.
