Teh stoopid...
Is STRONG with them...
Virginia Democrats continue to prove they are as ignorant of grammar and basic proofreading as they are of their state’s constitution.
After the Virginia Supreme Court rightly ruled that Democrats unconstitutionally pushed through one of the most egregiously gerrymandered congressional maps in U.S. history, which would have erased the state’s sizable GOP voter population’s voice, Democrats promptly appealed. Unfortunately, the very first page of their motion to delay misspelled “Virgnia” and “Sentator.” Virginia Attorney General Jay “Kill the Kids” Jones did manage to correct those misspellings in his latest appeal, but he forgot to change his template to reflect his appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, not the Supreme Court of Virginia.

And apparently don’t know how to do cut and paste...
Plus, I don’t think (I don’t know) whether SCOTUS even has standing to hear this appeal since this is a state issue, NOT a federal one, or impacting federal law.
But maybe Jones et al should look at using an LLM to write their appeals, at least the LLM would get the right spellings and right wording...
And I wonder how much this will cost them to pursue it, IF SCOTUS takes it?
Meanwhile, it’s it already to late to do anything this year, and doesn’t VA law say it has to be brought up with the ‘new’ legislature after the next election? I’m not a lawyer, sure as hell don’t play one on TV either...
Anyhoo, need more popcorn!
oh it gets better. Now they want to change the law so that the highest age for a Supreme Court justice is 54 years, which would then vacate the entire court so they could appoint their own judges and then revisit this ruling. Of course, once they did that they would scuttle the law on age.....
And of course, this is because the current supreme court is a "threat to democracy!"
Yeah, this is about par for the course.
However, looking at it, I can see some logic.
If they appeal to the supreme court, and they are denied cert, they can scream about a vast right wing conspiracy denying them their day in court, and they get favorable press about how the court is illegitimate and they need to stack it.
If they appeal to the supreme court and lose, they can scream about a vast right wing conspiracy interfering in the choices of the people of Virginia, and they get favorable press about how the court is illegitimate and they need to stack it.
If they appeal to the supreme court and win, they win, get all those safe districts in Virginia, and have a precedent to use in other states.
Maybe I’m giving them too much credit.
