The Kansas Supreme Court has ruled in the lawsuit between Governor Laura Kelly and Attorney General Kris Kobach, dismissing the Governor’s petition but affirming her constitutional powers. The court clarified the role of the Attorney General in the dispute, with Kobach claiming victory in the case. Governor Kelly stated that the ruling allows her to continue protecting Kansas from federal overreach and terminating funds for public health programs. The lawsuit originated from a 2025 dispute between Kelly and Kobach over SNAP data release, which was ultimately dismissed.
