[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SCOTUS won’t take the case, more time and money wasted by VA democrats.  [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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?[/quote]

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.[/quote]
