The United States Supreme Court on Monday ordered the state of New York to respond to a lawsuit filed by the state of Missouri by this Wednesday, according to Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey.
Bailey filed the lawsuit on July 3, and argued that the prosecution of former President Donald Trump in his hush money case, along with the court's gag orders, damaged Missourians' right to hear him speak freely ahead of the election.
The lawsuit requests that the Supreme Court rule that New York illegally interfered with the presidential election, and postpone any sentencing in the court case until after the election. It also seeks to have the gag orders that are still imposed on the former president removed.

SCOTUS ping!
Makes sense to me.
So Missouri has standing?
You know, if SCOTUS would have done their damn jobs and heard Texas’ brilliant election lawsuit back in December 2020, we wouldn’t be going through this crap right now.
Wowzer!
Bonus creativity points to Mizzou.
Will they get action or dismissed for standing?
ME, also.
You are so right! Claiming they didn't have standing still astounds me.
No standing, You’re too late, You’re too early, Wrong courtroom, ...
“You know, if SCOTUS would have done their damn jobs and heard Texas’ brilliant election lawsuit back in December 2020, we wouldn’t be going through this crap right now.”
You have that right! They didn’t want to be perceived as “political”. If SCOTUS had did their job then we (and they) wouldn’t be in the political mess we are in right now.
Yes the only jurisdiction of a state suing another state is the Supreme Court.
That’s right!
Paxton for AG.
That brilliantly sums up the absurdity of the “traditions” that courts lean upon when they simply don’t want to deal with a particular claim. The concept of “standing” has been abused to the point where it means nothing anymore. It is now just a device that is used to deny justice to those who imperialistic judges disfavor for whatever reason.
Thank you!
Yes maybe lawfare be about to do some bleeding?.
Roberts had his orders.
Why hasn’t Trump’s team filed malicious prosecution cases?
Love it!
Thanks for the ping.
