[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SCOTUS will not take the case b/c it is a state constitutional issue, not a federal/U.S. Constitution issue (even beyond the fact that VASC ruled correctly).

Jones knows this and only filed the suit (a) to make it look like he is "fighting" MAGA (b) Hakeem Jefferies told him to, and (c) so the Dems can continue their campaign to de-legitimize SCOTUS. [/quote]

Does Virginia not have any good constitutional lawyers?  Why in the world are they using a California firm?[/quote]

When the law firms sued over all the executive orders targeting them, every single one of them hired another law firm to represent them. That didn't mean that the law firms didn't have their own capable lawyers. It simply means that, in certain circumstances of exceptional importance, lawyers hire outside lawyers.[/quote]

Well, if it is the same guy that argued before the Va Supreme Court, he did not do a very good job.  I listened to the hearing.  Anyone who listened to it had to know the Dems would lose.  The guy gave terrible answers.  I'm not a lawyer, but I thought it was pretty obvious they would lose.[/quote]

VA seems to have chosen to hire a Republican lawyer. He worked at the most preeminent Republican law firm (Kellogg Hansen) and clerked for Judge Douglas Ginsburg on the DC Circuit (a Reagan appointee). My guess is that VA thought they'd have a better chance by hiring a Republican lawyer to represent them, but there were probably not too many Republicans willing to take the case. They would have had many more well-known and well-regarded options if they had chosen a Democrat lawyer.[/quote]
