MASSIVE Lawfare from MN Supreme Court; Judicial Overreach on Legislature

Action 4 Liberty has been the leading source for Patriots in Minnesota to navigate the Constitutional crisis that currently faces the state House. As House Democrats have continued to no-show, leaving their constituents without representation, 67 Republican members of the House elected a Speaker and began conducting business.

As we’ve previously reported, the MN Supreme Court heard arguments from lawyers representing both House caucuses concerning whether or not a quorum was present. Two cases were consolidated as one was SOS Steve Simon v. Speaker Lisa Demuth (Case # A25-0066) and another was Melissa Hortman, Jamie Long, and Athena Hollins v. Demuth, Harry Niska, and Paul Anderson (Case # A25-0068). 

The MN Supreme Court is currently made up entirely of liberal judges who were appointed by leftist Governors Tim Walz or Mark Dayton. While many were surprised by the court’s ruling on the 40B race (which nullified Walz’ illegitimate writ of election), the Supreme Court returned to their standard procedure of helping Democrats screw over our state.

The court ruled yesterday (1/24/25) in favor of the Democrats by “ordering” that a quorum of the House is 68 members. See below:

The full video of the court arguments can be viewed here. Many Patriots were unimpressed with the House GOP lawyer who failed to argue that Simon declared that there were only 133 election certificates on file and conceded to Democrat arguments on several fronts, including a false assertion that it takes 68 members to pass a law. By undermining their own argument, the GOP gave a small win to Democrats.

It is a blatant lie that legislation requires 68 votes to pass. A quick example of the House passing a bill with only 67 votes can be found (which can likely be found hundreds to thousands of times in MN House history) is the following vote from 1973, see below:

Former A4L President Jake Duesenberg explains the court's irrational logic with the following analogy:

The Supreme Court failed to rule on the phony, make-believe, fraudulent “swearing in ceremony” that Democrats did behind closed doors or their corrupt delay tactics. Instead, the court issued an order, notably without a formal writ, falsely claiming that 68 members is a quorum that “assumes the parties will now conform”.

Where House Republicans Go From Here

Democrats will seemingly keep up their childish boycott (while still getting paid) so Republicans will have to take immediate action. However, it appears the RINOs have already given up! A post on X by Rep. Peggy Bennett that was retweeted by the so-called “MN House GOP War Room” claims that Republicans will continue to show up but will “sit around and twiddle our thumbs while we wait for our colleagues”! How pathetic could these RINOs be? See below:

Voters elected their Representatives to get things done, not sit around and play politics with radical leftists or raise the white flag! Demuth called on Democrats to show up in a short statement while other Establishment Reps like Walter Hudson has posted on X already bending the knee to the Supreme Court’s ruling on the quorum! Even Harry Niska, who we've previously praised for fighting on the quorum issue has seemingly accepted the ruling by retweeting Peggy Bennett's white flag waving and posting on his own that they may "have to" wait until March to do work!

This is a Constitutional Crisis! This is Taxation without Representation!

House Republicans must REJECT the Supreme Court’s ruling and CONTINUE conducting legislative business! RINOs who sit on their hands will be called out!

The GOP could also trap the Supreme Court with a lawsuit that calls on the court to compel state police to drag the Democrat House members to the Capitol to obtain a quorum. The court would be forced to hold Dems to the standard they want and expose their blatant hypocrisy! If the judges refuse to do so, they will be exposed as a Kangaroo Court.

Democrats who refuse to show up will face recall petitions from organized constituents of their district. Their delay tactics may extend into March, or even further, due to the 40B special election being pushed back. If the court is arguing that a quorum was not present and no business has been properly conducted, this would mean the GOP’s previous action of calling for a writ of election from Walz cannot stand! This would also mean Walz cannot issue the writ of election until the Legislature declares the seat vacant with 68 members present!

At this point, zero Democrats have properly been sworn into office and the GOP cannot wait for Democrats to show up. Republicans must be ready to push a conservative agenda through, with or without Democrats.

Republicans must take a vote on rejecting/revoking the election certificate of Brad Tabke (54A) for election integrity issues and making massive cuts to state spending. As mentioned previously, the court order did not include a formal writ which means that the GOP can still, and must assert their Constitutional authorities by continuing forward with a quorum of 67. 

Democrats should show up and do their jobs but if they don’t, Republicans have every Right to continue forward. The Court’s ruling does not bind the House, it is simply another protection racket of Democrats. 

A4L will keep Patriots up to date with the latest information and news. House Republicans will either FIGHT or FAIL! Circumstances of election integrity issues has led the GOP to House control and they must not cave to the radical left a single inch! A4L will continue to shine a bright light onto the corruption in St. Paul.
