Justice Brett Kavanaugh directed that Denny Hoskins and two congressional candidates file responses regarding the Missouri map case by Wednesday. This action comes as the Supreme Court reviews an appeal challenging an 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling. That federal ruling had ordered the use of the 2025 map, despite the Missouri Supreme Court having previously upheld the 2022 map.
