It’s hard to believe, but Virginia Democrats are attempting to overturn the state Supreme Court’s ruling that declared their gerrymandered map unconstitutional. This map would have given them an unfair 10-1 advantage in congressional representation in a genuinely purple state. The court’s decision highlighted that the Democrats did not follow the proper procedures. This led to an outcry from the Left and resulted in a significant setback for the Democrats, causing embarrassment for some prominent figures, including Barack Obama. The Democrats are discovering that they cannot succeed in the redistricting battle against us. Now, they are seeking to stay the Virginia Supreme Court’s ruling while appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Um, sorry…am I missing something? There is no federal issue of concern here. Virginia’s highest court rendered an opinion based on the state’s current constitution and laws. So stop the clown show, you fools, and follow the rules next time:
Before the ruling, it seemed unlikely that this goofy map would be certified. Democratic insiders believed there was less than a 50 percent chance that the court would refuse to dismiss the challenge to the map, causing significant panic among the Left. Many were reportedly preparing to blame top Democrats in Washington, D.C., and Richmond for ignoring warnings that a legal dispute could undermine their efforts. Rachael Bade highlighted the issues at stake, noting that if a majority of the court sides with just one of the arguments against the map, it could be completely discarded:
That Democrats failed to provide a required 90-day notice before the election.
That Democrats used “misleading” ballot language when they framed the question as one of “fairness.”
That they didn’t follow the statute requiring an “intervening election” of the House of Delegates between two votes approving a constitutional amendment.
And that the special session was invalidly called and used to advance the effort.
There were multiple violations of the state constitution in ramming through this disgustingly partisan map. And now that the state Supreme Court has ruled on the matter, Democrats won’t take no for an answer, which is par for the course for the Domestic Terrorist Party.
