Good writing, but people still have to be willing to educate themselves on ballot initiatives, rather than just giving blind faith to the news media to report things responsibly (which they don't).
As Hakeem Jefferies said "War everywhere all the time." Pray for the sheeple to wake up to this and reject it.
There was no doubt what Comrade Spanbooger was trying, and thankfully someone wearing a black robe called her on it. Will the Virginia Supreme Court support her or the law? No known, however if the Virginia SC rules for her, SCOTUS will have a bite at the apple. If nothing else her gerrymander is probably dead for the 2026 midterms.
Besides all the procedural flaws and unconstitutionality of this amendment, as described in this post, wasn’t there a late night ballot dump that put this over the top?
Generally, yes, but claims of ideological bias are nothing new, and frankly, have always held more than a grain of truth. The Warren court expanded government exponentially along with earth-shaking changes in criminal law. The Burger and Rehnquist courts were as conservative as Warren was liberal. Roberts is a fence rider who inherited a liberal majority that has since become conservative.
The more significant issue (and Ms. Cleveland may have addressed it but I haven’t read her article) would seem to be the vitriol that arose in the confirmation process beginning with Robert Bork’s humiliating rejection and changed confirmation into a tit for tat retaliatory exercise.
Not unlike California. Got his hair out of alignment because If TX. Interesting that most experts on gerrymandering noted Cali “Independent Districting Board” is actually the most fair, EQUITABLE” (sorry for all caps but since left love that word), free from gerrymandering, and of course actually voted on by the People. Only to see uptight do as I say not as I do Newsom change it. But sure, Dems are for “democracy.” OR massively gerrymander after 2020 census. No say from The People. Just rammed down our throats by Dem oligarchs.
The problem is that the Democrat appointees are still clinging to power like barnacles on a sinking ship. Clinton-era judges and their fellow travelers helped build this black-robed superlegislature, and now every political scam gets routed through courts for blessing. Enough. Put them out to pasture. If Democrats can’t win under fair maps, they rewrite the maps. If voters might object, they launder the language. If the law blocks them, they hunt for a friendly judge. That’s not democracy—it’s cartel politics with gavels. Courts should enforce the rules, not rescue the party that broke them. The republic can’t survive judicial machine politics.
The Virginia Communist scum should cut the crap with the one Republicans district and just take ALL of them like the good little totalitarian apparatchiks they are.
"I said in my last number, that the supreme court under this constitution would be exalted above all other power in the government, and subject to no controul. The business of this paper will be to illustrate this, and to shew the danger that will result from it. I question whether the world ever saw, in any period of it, a court of justice invested with such immense powers, and yet placed in a situation so little responsible."

I rather find interesting the proposal to sue and take back Arlington for D.C.
