This will obviously go to the State Supreme Court.

These asses are so exhausting.

I'm so exhausted that when I go to work, noticed that
I was wearing still wearing my slippers. (RN at Adult Day Health)
At least my feet were comfortable all day.

because you put them on in the dark.

In the courts because they don’t want the voters to have their say. TSF was ranting that it was rigged and blah, blah

The ruling depends on what judge you get. The VA Supreme Court Justices all are listed as "nonpartisan".

There are good arguments for courts not approving this law. In that it is inherently unfair if you are only looking at Virginia. It's fair taken in the context of the gerrymandering going on nationally. I'm not sure state justices get to consider that. At least in a reasonable state with reasonable judges. The red states will have no problem with their justices saying ok to extreme gerrymandering.

it will motive the masses to vote against them.

This guy is desperate

There will be an appeal

WTF? THE PEOPLE IF VA VOTED 🤬🤬🤬

You would think he would eventually go along with the VA SC ruling.

it's a travesty that he gets paid by the taxpayer for being anything but a judge. he's a hack.

The Virginia Supreme Court was going to hear this one way or another.

Fuck...

But it seems a reliable court to file in - the GOP does like to go Judge shopping.

Here is his honor:

https://ballotpedia.org/Jack_S._Hurley,_Jr.

He was appointed, not elected, 14 years ago. Doesn't sound like he's ever worked outside this county.

He just judges according to the diktats of the local Boss Hogg?

Have a friend who says if you disparage the people (or pronounce the mountains' name wrong) he'll throw an apple at ya.
Someone will get that....

Foothills of Apple at ya gal - I got it with no problem!
AND That Apple at ya judge ain't no Jay Jones!!!

redistricting through without even letting the public vote on it?

You know, like fascists do?

They continue to give Abbott a pass.

The people voted - this, to me, is quite scary.

Remember Proposition 187 and Proposition 8 in California? The people voted for that too, and they were both struck down. Here in Staten Island, the people also voted for SI succession.

1.) the state violated the 90-day public notice between the legislative approval and the start of voting.

2.) the wording of the amendment is misleading "Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections,"

Gerrymandering isn't synonymous with "restore fairness"

Wisconsin does not have ballot initiatives. The GOP has put forth “Constitutional amendments” every election that are worded so badly, even seasoned political junkies struggle to understand what a yes or no vote means.

That hardly seems like a reason to throw this out, even if it’s in another state.

It's on auto-appeal. It was expected to end up the VA supreme court anyway.

The Virginia Supreme Court was holding off looking at the case until after the vote. This is where the fight it.

NEW: A republican judge has blocked the redistricting effort in Virginia, invalidating yesterday's vote. But it's a pause, not a defeat. Read more here: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Gill has to say.

Not a big deal. They are going to appeal.

But we will keep fighting. We are damned determined to beat these monsters, we we will never give up.

VA AG was ready and waiting for this.

Tazwell County. I've been there. It's BF Egypt on steroids. Only surpassed in backwardness by Lee County. Nothing is as bad as Lee County. West Virginia perhaps, but it's close. The landscape is gorgious. The people on the other hand.

overturned by the Virginia Supreme Court. So hopefully the same thing will happen with this.

These are the most despicable people.

Tazewell is shit-hole strip mine country.

The judge is a small-time magistrate in deep rural Tazewell County in Southwest Virginia -- coal country.

When the redistricting referendum was proposed, the blocked it, Democrats sued, the State Supreme Court slapped him down.

His ruling will be overturned.

Just a political hack trying to make a name to run for another office one day.

This will be overturned and the certification complete within days.

WJLA used to be co-owned with Politico before being bought by Sinclair in 2014.

We have one in Seattle, too. There are more than 100 across the country.

rule in the Va Congress just as Abbott did in Texass.
Then let the Heritage Asses try to fight that.

Something we need to develop
