Virginia Supreme Court strikes down Democrats’ redistricting plan, dimming party’s midterm hopes

[citygator]

Democrats spent north of $80 million on the Virginia referendum.

Almost half of it came from Hakeem Jeffries' personal 501(c)4, House Majority Forward.

Louise Lucas, Don Scott, and Abigail Spanberger exerted so much of their political capital to get it passed.

All to be stuffed into a locker by SCOVA for the blatantly unconstitutional way they got it on the ballot.

dimocraps are scum

Delayed you mean.

As I previously posted numerous times, we no longer have a Supreme Court, we have the legal defense arm of the Republican Party.

Enjoy it while you can fascists.

Virginia State Supreme Court idiot

What did the Republicans do differently in Texas? You have no idea.

There is no difference between what the Republican in TX did and what the Democrats in VA did.

yes there is. Texas doesnt have a constitution that restricts gerrymandering.

He does not have to
He has moderator backing likely due to financial contribution

To be fair, all liberal Democrats say things that are fabrications, all the time, every time. It has become an important piece of their indoctrination.

It is the State Supreme Court nitwit.

Another fact-free post presented to you by the GOP.

Yep. I was wrong AND right. They just ruled against them for the midterm because of the timing. Has no bearing on the actual redistricting. They are good for 2028.

Lesson for democrats: Do not constrain your politicians from taking votes from citizens because the red states wont restrict themselves.

Wrong again

They ruled against the referendum from the start since it was done illegally

The circuit court was right

 

[struth]

The Neo-GOP in Texas would never approve of a commission to draw non partisan districts. Not that I think the Texas Democrats who controlled the state when I arrived would either. The Neo-GOP (or....) is not about fair play. It's all about winning, no matter how dirty they have to get.

Apparently the Dems are all about winning since the violate laws to try and do it

The gop in tx didn’t

 

[struth]

Rightwing courts found that it was not only acceptable, but legal to have Black slaves at one point in this country.

No that was a Dem court

And dems who fought for slaves and dems who created Jim Crow

You, still support that party

They just ruled the timing wasnt long enough due to the compression with their interpretation of “election” which they included primaries. Virginia is a go for the very next election.

Yes, at that point in history Democrats were mostly rightwing.

Thanks for bringing that to the forefront.

Excellent news. A rare win for democracy.

And a very temporary one, as it was struck down on procedural grounds.

They will just correct the error and put the amendment on the next possible ballot.

Virginia State Supreme Court idiot

His wish is USSC will take it on and since that’s a strongly desired feeling it then becomes fact for the factless

 

[DonGlock26]

Toss in the SCOTUS decision and it's really is "game over" for the dems as far as redistricting goes.

For more than a decade, Democrats and their allies have used the federal courts as a redistricting weapon to force Republican-led states to carve up congressional maps along racial lines, override the will of state legislatures, and hand Democrats seats they couldn't win on merit.

The dems be like:

That's probably the Dred Scott decision. However, I think that only one republican was on the SC when the decision was made. There were more slave owners, including Chief Justice Taney, than republicans. Not exactly the appearance of a rightwing court.

Let it be known, IM2, Clipper loved this post.

We're not dealing with full decks here. Liberal Democrats of today appreciate what sounds neat pleasing their fragility and spaces. Truth has no place for them, and this is why they're unhinged and wrong like it's become part of their DNA.

Do you ever stop crybabying

Another good thing is the dems spent from 50 to 80 million on their failed effort.....That much less money to mess with someone else.

Beat it. Now we know not only are you too dumb to get a photo ID, you're too dumb to understand the difference between a state supreme court and the federal supreme court.

You're just really, really stupid.

LOL
