MN Supreme Court Hears Arguments to Decide if Simon is King of the Legislature

 

The Minnesota Supreme Court is set to hear opening arguments at 1 p.m. today to determine if the Minnesota House is controlled by We The People-elected Representatives or a corrupt self-appointed king, SOS Steve Simon.

At the end of the November election, House Republicans and Democrats found themselves in a 67-67 tie. But due to a dispute over a candidate’s residency, Dems lost a member leaving the House with a 67-66 Republican majority.

While desperate Dems claim that the House cannot convene with fewer than the usual 68 members, Republicans maintain that because of the empty seat the House membership is at 133 making the threshold for the meeting rule 67.

In the January 15 session, 67 Republicans convened the House and made a series of motions and nominations to reinforce their legal standing.  In a counter-move, the DFL filed petitions with the highest court seeking to have the Republican moves nullified and any further action blocked until the House convenes with 68 members present.

Republicans say the Legislature has authority over its members and actions and shouldn’t be held to the court’s interpretation of a quorum. They view this act as “an attempt at a hostile takeover of the House”.

GOP attorneys are looking to the justices to uphold the Constitution and rule in favor of the Legislature operating as it should, free of interference from the Executive and Judicial branches of government.

The Supreme Court sometimes takes days, or even months, to decide cases. But in matters of urgency, the justices may move faster.

As always, Action for Liberty will keep you updated on what’s happening in this fight.
