The Minnesota Supreme Court on Friday sided with Democrats in their interpretation of quorum question at the center of a power dispute in the state House, ruling that the 68 members need to be present to meet that threshold.

The Court said the Minnesota Constitution requires 68 members present to conduct business, one more than the GOP's 67 members holding sessions without the DFL.

Minnesota’s top court ruled that Republicans had overstepped their authority by conducting business in the Legislature even as Democrats boycotted the session.
