It would set a horrible precedent to decide what legislators have the duty and authority to decide themselves.

Democrats have asked the Minnesota Supreme Court to intervene in a partisan power struggle that has roiled the start of the 2025 legislative session

Minnesota House Democrats and Secretary of State Steve Simon have requested the state’s Supreme Court resolve the power struggle unfolding in the lower chamber. House Republicans and Democrats have been embroiled in a fight over whether the state House GOP has majority rule.

The Supreme Court said it may announce opinions on Friday, a last-minute addition that comes just two days before a law that would ban TikTok is set to go into effect.

The Supreme Court on Friday was divided over the constitutionality of a federal law that would require social-media giant TikTok to shut down in the United States unless its Chinese parent company can sell it by Jan.

The high court doesn't announce which opinions it is releasing. But the justices are up against a Sunday deadline for TikTok to cut ties with China.
