Politics Friday: As state high court pulled into Minnesota House dispute, what’s on the line?

  • Summary

  • The Legislature opened its session on Jan. 14. But the House hasn’t been able to operate at full capacity.


    Democrats are boycotting and Republicans have declined to cut a deal to share power or commit to leaving a DFL win in a contested House election intact.


    Now the Minnesota Supreme Court is involved.


    Will a ruling by justices settle things or could the standoff linger deeper into the session?


    MPR News politics editor Brian Bakst talked to the two Minnesota lawmakers with a role in the power struggle.


    Later, he spoke with two legal scholars about how the constitutional tug-of-war is playing out.
