Emanuel Cleaver: “I'm disappointed in the way the debate went. We had a fact-free debate.”

For more than a year, state officials have spent precious time, energy, and resources on an effort to silence the voices of Missouri voters and steal a congressional seat.

The joy, I think, now is generated by the fact that the people won this battle.

Despite the cynical and deeply shameful attempt to silence many of our neighbors, the people fought back and won.

Tonight, after more than 305,000 Missourians demanded a say, the Supreme Court has put this shameful and unlawful scheme to rest. Power to the people.
