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.

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?

The Supremes won't rule in favor of the Dems. But they Dems should make them rule against the independent legislature theory and define when an election has started.

Reminds me of Demi Moore's 'strenous objection' in A Few Good Men.

Just so embarassing.

After the govt shutdown last fall, Tim kaine (the senator that represents many federal workers) stated he was paying attention to the election in Virginia. That govt shutdown was 100 percent to influence the nov 2025 elections. And the representatives that claim to be for the fed work force used them as pawns.

No it will not. SCOTUS said years ago that partisan gerrymandering is fine and dandy.

They also said years ago that abortion is a Constitutional right.

Kaine caved on the shut down after ensuring sufficient pain.

Great ideas.

The Rs have thrown out the rule book. Time to engage to eliminate the MAGA cancer.

Why are you wasting time thinking about things that won’t happen. The Supreme Court is controlled by republicans and will vote for republican interests. Why can’t democrats understand that? It’s like you guys just can’t let go of this fairy tale that the Supreme Court has anything to do with law or justice. They are politicians in robes. Accept that and act accordingly.

Partisan gerrymandering is legal because Congress has allowed it. It's not a Constitutional right. Congress could outlaw it, for federal elections, whenever they wish.

No abortion was never a constitutional right, rather it was an activist ruling built on shaky legal reasoning.

So make them do it. Don't pre-surrender. Make them do what we all know they are going to do. Hem them in and expose the partisan bs for the partisan bs it is.

Whether State Constitutions, State Courts, State Electorates, and State Governors even have any say in federal elections is something this partisan SCOTUS (and the GOP) has been flirting with and was the legal cover for what they were trying to do on Jan 6th.

Louisiana is talking about cancelling an election that is ongoing right now in order to redistrict after the VRA decision.

Make SCOTUS either rule against those shenanigans or overturn the Virginia Courts decision. There are broader implications involved. What's good for the goose must be good for the gander. Not making them choose is a flight of idiocy.

Make them do what? This is a state issue, the Supreme Court will never take this case. This another laughable attempt by libs to cheat.

Spanberger voter here who has never voted for Trump.

The Dems continue to disappoint us moderates. Trying to disenfranchise voters through gerrymandering, the wording of the amendment language, etc.

The MAGA politicians are horrible. Absolutely horrible. But the Dems continue to prove themselves no better. Sigh.

I guess it is back to third party.
