• stating “a court must provide the parties with notice before issuing an order of consolidation in accordance with Rule 65.04(7)”
• “the omission of any discussion of the trial court’s jurisdiction in Planned Parenthood and Davis-Kidd should not be interpreted as altering the general rule prohibiting state equity courts from enjoining enforcement of a criminal statute”
