The FCC’s explicit threats to ABC’s licenses is clear coercion in violation of the 1A.
Similar threats were recently unanimously found to be violations by SCOTUS.
Even Justice Thomas called those actions “ham-fisted.
Here’s some facts from Vullo v NRA and then the FCC statement regarding Kimmel

Oregon, Alaska, New Hampshire, Montana and Delaware have NO state sales tax.
Missouri is a regressive state (super shocked face).
We are close to the top 10 for state and local sales taxes combined.

Every state legislature should be trying to eliminate SALES TAXES and replace it with other revenue streams.
Sales tax is the most regressive.
The impact is felt even more, due to inflation and tariffs.
Republicans want to cut income and property taxes because they only care about rich people

Article IV Section 9 of the MO Constitution
The 2nd sentence permits the Governor to convene session on “extraordinary occasions” while requiring detail of the reasons deemed “necessary.”
The Petition says this is an issue of 1st impression, meaning the MO S Ct has not previously addressed it.

Pretty sure my Rep doesn’t know how districting works
Your domicile determines your Rep.
They make a map. You vote for new Reps, based on your registered domicile. The old districts are used until the new Reps are seated and sworn in.
How would this mid-decade MO process change that?
