Do you not realize that fewer people voted no than yes? The Supreme Court contorted the plain language of the constitution to give maga a win. Just like scotus. We had a good 250 years but Trump and maga have taken every one of our institutions, and all we have left is corruption, a broken economy, and a senile man redecorating our monuments. |
… so pretty much everyone involved in politics these days? |
yes the wording was bias, RESTORE FAIRNESS, of course we want fairness lOLOLOLOLLL X222222222222 |
| The wording was shite, the timing was shite. Dems are incompetent. |
Haha |
| SCOTUS won’t take the case, more time and money wasted by VA democrats. |
I can’t even with this lawyer brain. This was a decision by republican politicians to help out other republican politicians. So now they want to appeal to yet another group of republican politicians? Gee guys, I wonder what they’ll do? They might as well appeal to a committee of Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and John Thune. |
No. Just the garbage MAGAs. |
They did say they wanted to burn it all down. |
Yes, I can't get over what an epic fail this was. And now they want to get another embarrassing beat down by the Supreme Court. Democrats should take the loss and go home, but they want the beatings to continue. |
| The VA Legislature should ignore the ruling and force the SC to make a decision on the independent legislatire theory. |
Seriously. I thought democrats were starting to get it, but this move just shows they still don’t. Apparently even after Calais, Virginia democrats still think SCOTUS is some neutral forum that will fairly apply the law. I’m not sure what it’s going to take to get it through their thick skulls. How about they take a page from how republicans have reacted to court losses? They could look at Ohio republicans and just ignore their state Supreme Court. Or they could look at Utah republicans, who launched a bad faith investigation of a justice who ruled against them and forced her to resign. Or they want a veneer of legality around it, they could get creative and lower the retirement age for Supreme Court justices to 70, forcing one of the justices who ruled against them off the bench, immediately appoint a replacement, and get the case reheard. |
Okay. Say the Supremes overturn the referendum ruling. You do know that the Dems appealed to the VASC to delay the ruling (prior to the election) because of the Virginia law--you know, the law they are NOW complaining about with the timing of the election. GOP has also filed against the referendum results on the basis of the lack of "neutral language" in it. VA Supremes did not rule on that because they already overruled the referendum. I don't understand how this all works, but if the US Supremes rule in favor of the Dems, does that case still get considered? |
