A Trumpy Supreme Court justice has defied the president’s will and sparked a feeding frenzy among the MAGA faithful. Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, 61, on Tuesday shot down an emergency bid to hold onto new district boundaries in Missouri that could hand Republicans an extra seat in the House at November’s midterms.

On Tuesday afternoon, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh denied the state's bid to keep the new map in place, leaving the state's Supreme Court decision in place ordering the use of a 2022 map instead.

The hearing, scheduled inside the state Supreme Court building in Jefferson City at 10 a.m., comes amid a period of uncertainty over Missouri’s map. Chief Justice W. Brent Powell ordered Hoskins to appear in person and explain why he should not be held in contempt.

The battle over Missouri's congressional districts is going back to the United States Supreme Court. Justice Brett Kavanaugh has a deadline to respond to People Not Politicians request for a stay.

Conflicting court orders issued on the same day have thrown congressional elections in Missouri into chaos, two months before an election in which a handful of races could decide control of the House.
