The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued a two-page disposition in Congressman Robert Onder, et al v. State of Missouri, et al, docketed as a civil rights matter. Amici on behalf of appellees include the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, the ACLU of Missouri Foundation, and the Campaign Legal Center; Club for Growth appeared as amicus for appellants.
Constitutional basis: Federal appellate review of a state election-law dispute still moving through its own process; the two-page order records no merits determination.
