Going against the expressly stated will of the people is dangerous business. I’d argue it needs to be stronger than 51% if this court wants to retain any shred of its credibility.


Yes totally illegal they didn't even try to make it look reasonable it was either a way to draw attention to unfair maps or to actually try to push through removing the votes of their political opponents.

Playing to the rubes, another case of trying to make something that happens frequently, for justifiable reasons sound "outrageous" and belittling. David McIntosh of the Federalist Society should know better, his boss Leonard Leo makes a living off this nonsense (both providing outside counsel and throwing sand in the gears and dust in the eyes).



MAGAs are always full of shit.



Yep maga dumbest cult ever

I wonder if Mr. McIntosh complained about Jason Miyares using outside counsel during his tenure as VA AG?

I'm guessing not, because, I guess, it's different when a Republican does it, I'm sure.


That is TOTALLY different.

Was state constitutional law his speciality?

We need specialized attorneys to make sure corrupt judges are put in their place.


Judges are supposed to use the law in their judgements. Not politics.


Yup. Corrupt judges are driven by political agendas.

Where are you seeing that state constitutional law was his specialty?

If that is the case, he has failed in his specialty.

I have not seen the brief, however.


No one was confused by the “restore fairness” language. Except maybe the people who think “fair” means Republican domination no matter what because Jeebus said so.
