B-Man Posted January 13 Posted January 13 SCUM Constitutional Crisis In Minnesota By John Hinderaker Minnesota is a purple state, balanced on a knife’s edge, as the 2024 election showed. There are 134 Minnesota House districts, and when the returns were in, it looked like Republicans had gained enough seats so that the House would be tied, 67-67. But then it came to light that one of the Democrats’ candidates had cheated: in House District 40B, Democrat Curtis Johnson falsely claimed to reside in the district, a constitutional requirement. His Republican opponent filed an election contest, which was successful, as the evidence against the Democrat was overwhelming. A district court issued an injunction barring Johnson from taking that seat. A special election will be held to fill the seat at some time in the future; the exact schedule is now the subject of litigation. So currently there are 133 elected representatives holding election certificates: 67 Republicans and 66 Democrats. Republicans hold a majority, brought about by the fact that Democrats cheated and got caught. Democrats are panicked over the prospect that they will lose control over one house of Minnesota’s legislature, and they have determined on a desperate strategy. The 2024 legislative session begins on Tuesday, and all 66 Democrats are going to refuse to show up for work. Their theory is that by hiding out, they will prevent the establishment of a quorum, and thereby disable Minnesota’s House (effectively, the entire legislature) from doing any business. They hope that at some point in the future, they will win a special election in 40B, at which time they say they will go back to work. Meanwhile, they intend to continue drawing their pay as legislators. Will that contemptible strategy work? I don’t think so. The controlling constitutional provision is Article IV, Section 13: In my legal opinion, the language is perfectly clear. Currently, there are 133 (not 134) members of the Minnesota House. Section 13 doesn’t say the majority of districts, of which there are 134, it says the majority of the house, which has 133 members. So 67 votes are a majority, and a quorum. {snip} Do Minnesota’s House Republicans have the guts to do the right thing and stand up for our state’s Constitution and laws, and for the voters who elected them? I think they do. Their leadership–Speaker-to-be Lisa Demuth and Majority Leader-to-be Harry Niska–is both strong and able, and the caucus is united. I think there is a very real prospect that this crisis will serve to discredit the Democrat Farmer Labor party in the eyes of voters, so that its tenuous grip on power will be decisively broken, and Minnesota will swing to the right. The action will play out in the coming days, and we will continue to report. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/01/constitutional-crisis-in-minnesota.php
