I admit I am surprised. Shame on them. Will this go to the US SCOTUS?

How can we impeach state Supreme Court justices? How DARE they ignore the will of the people?

How dare the democrats attempt to unconstitutionally create new districts.

Read the opinion. They used a convoluted reading of legislative procedure to overturn it.

GOP loves twisting the law to justify whatever result they want.

Nothing was convoluted. This was all known going in. It was known by the lawyers overseeing the process. It was a risk to go ahead. They understood that.

Yes, it was a risk that partisan hacks were going to overturn the will of the people. I think we know that already.

Obviously the Dems should have counted the number of republicans on the court before doing this, knowing full well that republicans will ignore the law and plain text to help their own party.

Ohio republicans ignored their state Supreme Court when it struck down their gerrymandered maps and used them anyway. Why should VA dems pay any attention the VA Supreme Court?

They only ruled on one aspect. That was what the hearing was about. If you listened to it, you should have known how they would rule. The Dem lawyer could not answer the questions satisfactorily, because the Dem house/senate did not follow the law.

If they had supported this, then the next step would have been a challenge to the language in the referendum. That, too, did not follow the law.

The Va Supremes upheld that law. I did read that one of the Justices that ruled to throw out the referendum was apponted by Mark Warner. Warner is a Democrat.

Yea they made their hackish opinions clear at the argument.

How could a US senator appoint a VA Supreme Court justice? Do you have any clue how VA Supreme Court justices get appointed?

Can’t the Dems just do it again?

It was a referendum, dipshit. As Democratic as it gets.

I know, you hate democracy as much as you hate America and everything it stands for.

Honestly, we should be rioting in the streets tonight.

The idea that 50% + 1 vote can undo Virginia constitution seems insane to me. Good luck with that world. Don't care what the other states are doing. Go live there if you want to gerrymander.

That’s how referendums works.

There are constitutional rules about referendums and when those rules aren’t followed, the referendum is in unconstitutional. This court concluded that the rules weren’t followed. Democrats can try again following the rules.

The court are partisan hacks playing an extremely dangerous game. When the ballot box and the courts won’t serve justice, the People will get it another way. And right now, the People are pissed.

No, I'm actually pretty happy. Do it the right way next time.

You sounds nuts. There are rules everyone has to follow. This is what happens when you don't follow the rules. It's not that complicated.

I can't with hypocrisy. I just can't. Please explain now how you feel about all the Republican gerrymandering, which by the way, was not the will of the people

A complete waste of time and money.

By October 31, over 40% of votes had been cast in the VA 2025 General Election. It's not that tortured of a reading and I say that as a Democrat.

Personally, my view is that "election" for purposes of the VA Constitution should be read as Election Day. The VA SC disagrees. But reasonable people can disagree. That said, it's a pathetic joke if any of the judges in the majority consider themselves "Originalists" or "Textualists." They just inferred a whole lot of intent in the VA Constitution.

Republicans are always full of shit.

I'm just here to laugh at all the losers that said the court would never and could never do what it just did.

Ha Ha .

Losers.

Clear as mud.
“Restore fairness”?
In what context? To whom?
If the shoe was on the other foot there’s no way you’d agree the language was not biased.

Of course it was clear.

Hey buddy, if you think the voters are going to just meekly suck up your ilk destroying the country and doing anything to hold on to power, you’re stupider than I thought.

You tried to cheat as usual and you crashed and burned....Buddy.

Ahhh HA! HA! HAAAA!!

Luv it!

You fascist scumbags know all about cheating.

The GOP knows that they can’t win without lying and cheating.
