But if gas is over $5 for a sustained period and diesel is over 7/8, people will be desperate for changes.

And running inconvenient candidates who can win in those districts . People like Joe Manchin who the hard core liberals chose to drive out of the Party rather than accept that West Virginia isn't Alexandria.


Joe Manchin would not help take steps to protect our republic. He was more interested in self dealing on coal. Sorry, he is not a hero here.

If the blue states don’t wake up and start ASAP the country will be lost.

The end.

We know that the red states are full of anti-American subservient gimps, and it’s time for the blue states to show some backbone.

The Ohio and Florida constitutions ban partisan gerrymandering. Republicans did it anyway. Tennessee law bans mid-cycle redistricting. Republicans did it anyway.


Tennessee repealed the law prohibiting mid-cycle redistricting. And they redistricted in response to the SCOTUS decision prohibiting districting based on race.


They did not repeal it in accordance with the TN constitution. The TN constitution says that legislature in special session can only pass legislation on the specific topics named in the governors decree calling the special session. Repealing this law was not named.

Nope. At least Blue states like Virginia voted for their redistricting. TN and others did not, they just went ahead and did it.

They voted in a referendum, which took precedence. That's how things work.

I don't think it can be argue this district was made based on race. It is very compact, unlike Louisiana.

This is an absolutely ridiculous statement.

It would have been great if SCOVA had stopped the insanity before it started. Something so clearly illegal should’ve never gone so far.
But Jones & VA Dems argued to have the vote proceed, & for SCOVA to rule on the legality AFTER. They cited precedent and won.
THEY got the process THEY wanted.
Just not the outcome.
You cannot argue for the decision to be made AFTER the vote and then claim that if SCOVA determined it was unconstitutional that the vote must stand.
