Editorial: Unanimous Mo. Supreme Court sides with citizens against 2 GOP power grabs

The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of citizens, upholding their right to bypass politicians and vote directly on critical state issues. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court sided with Republicans in an emergency case regarding TV ad rates. This decision lifted a previous ruling, allowing party committees to access lower advertising rates during the 60 days before general elections, despite strong opposition from Democrats and a dissenting opinion from Justice Jackson regarding federal broadcast mandates.
