Eighth Circuit Judge Flirts with the Idea of Restoring the Missouri 2025 U.S. House Districts

On September 17, the Eighth Circuit heard Onder v State of Missouri, 26-2827. This story describes the comments of two of the three judges, one of whom seem inclined to order that the 2025 U.S. House maps be used, notwithstanding the actions of the U.S. Supreme Court in this same case earlier this week and last week.

Eighth Circuit Judge Flirts with the Idea of Restoring the Missouri 2025 U.S. House Districts — 12 Comments

  1. I suspect Trump won’t have a problem with this particular lower court defying SCOTUS. The only consistent thing about Trump and his regime is their dedication to amassing power at all costs.

  2. It’s an entirely different question than what the supreme kangaroos misruled on. Hopefully, with the help of Jesus, we can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for the righteous 2025 maps to prevail over the wicked and evil 2022 maps.

  3. Richard;

    Politico is extreme leftard spin fake news propaganda. Can’t you find a more credible source describing the same events?

    Joshua:

    Courts rule on particular legal arguments brought before them, not outcomes. A ruling upholding the 2025 maps wouldn’t necessarily defy the supreme court’s earlier ruling. However,it’s unlikely to come in time for injunctive relief. I imagine the ballots are already being printed and distributed.

  4. God bless Judge Loken and give him wisdom and victory for the 2025 maps.

    We must ensure a victory for the GOP and a future for White children!

  5. ANTI-DEMOCRACY MINORITY RULE GERRYMANDER MATH 001 – MINI INFO
    1/2 OR LESS VOTES X 1/2 RIGGED CRACKED/PACKED GERRYMANDER AREAS = 1/4 OR LESS CONTROL = MINORITY RULE OLIGARCHY – OFTEN WITH LAWLESS MONARCH TYRANTS.
    SUPER WORSE EXTREMIST PRIMARY MATH.
    MAJOR RESULT — THE LAWLESS TYRANT EXECS / JUDICS MAKING DEFACTO SPECIAL INTEREST GANG LAWS VIA EXEC ORDERS / COURT OPINIONS.
    —–
    ANTI-DEMOCRACY MINORITY RULE GERRYMANDER GOVTS —
    USA GOVT, ALL 50 STATE GOVTS AND MANY LOCAL GOVTS.
    USA CONST SUBVERTED — I-2 MAJORITY + MINORITY REPRESENTATION FROM EACH STATE [USA REPS] / 4-4 RFG [STATES/LOCALS] / 14-1 AMDT EP CL [ALL].
    REMEDIES—
    1. NOOO PRIMARIES.
    2. PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION – P.R. —
    TOTAL VOTES / TOTAL MEMBERS = EQUAL VOTES TO ELECT EACH MEMBER IN LEGISLATIVE BODIES. [TOVTOM METHOD]
    3. NONPARTISAN EXECS/JUDICS VIA APPROVAL VOTING.
    4. T-O-T-A-L SEPARATION OF POWERS.

  6. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize. We need to keep Donald Trump in office, not for a thousand years, not for a million years, not for a billion years, but FOREVER! An infinity of time!

  7. Richard Winger on September 17, 2026 at 9:01 am said:

    The First Amendment protects petitioning. In 1988, the US Supreme Court unanimously made that determiniation in Meyer v Grant.

    Helpful Guy on September 17, 2026 at 9:10 am said:

    The supreme kangaroos were completely wrong, and most likely knew it. The type of petitions referred to in the First Amendment had nothing to do with state initiative and referendum, which didn’t exist at the time, and referred explicitly to actions of Congress, not those of state legislatures.

  8. HG continues:

    Under your understanding, Mr. Winger, can the federal courts now legitimately force all states to have initiative and referendum, or force a similar process into place at the federal level, and claim it’s mandated by the first amendment? If not, why not?

  9. Stanley on September 17, 2026 at 9:23 am said:

    “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government foressr a redress of grievances.”

    South Dakota isn’t congress. I & R isn’t petitioning for redress of grievances.

    In Blackstone’s Commentaries, Americans in the Thirteen Colonies read that “the right of petitioning the king, or either house of parliament, for the redress of grievances” was a “right appertaining to every individual”.

  10. Stanley continues

    In 1776, the Declaration of Independence cited King George’s failure to redress the grievances listed in colonial petitions, such as the Olive Branch Petition of 1775, as a justification to declare independence.

    I & R does not petition legislatures for redress of grievances, it usurps their legislative powers in favor of a popular vote. No such process or “right” was contemplated by the writers and adopters of the Bill of Rights. To the extent they had anything to say about anything of the sort, it was in opposition to it.

  11. Stanley on September 17, 2026 at 9:27 am said:

    Before Mr. Winger claims that the 14th amendment extended the 1st amendment to state legislatures

    1) It was improperly adopted with the votes of states under federal military occupation as blackmail for readmission

    2) It did no such thing; that came later, in another willful misinterpretation by the kangaroo federal courts, all

    3) Stemming from those courts giving themselves unconstitutional powers in Marbury v Madison.

  12. Trump Threepeat and You Know It on September 17, 2026 at 7:54 am said:

    It doesn’t matter which demon rat wins their primary, except to the extent that it helps defeat them in the general election.

    It’s Giuliani Time on September 17, 2026 at 7:56 am said:

    Of course Trump threepeated, and will 4peat in 2028, but I think it does in fact matter which demon rats win their primary, since some of them will win the general election.
