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!"
Democracy is a threat to civilization. 50.01% of the voters with no clue or conscience can do what they damn well please. We are a Republic, not a Democracy.
I am getting so tired of that phrase “threat to democracy” bevause every time it’s used, it’s to decry something that is a threat to socialism of various kinds.
And I’d rather live in a republic anyway. Though I’m ready to go back to strict rules on who is allowed to vote. There are a lot of stupid people going to the ballot box these days and ruining it for all of us….
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.
Well, there is already a SCOTUS decision in place reference the Supremacy of a State Highest Court in regards to cases ONLY involving the State Constitution and State Laws ... one that basically told the DNC in general, and the supporters of the Algorical in particular, that such cases, which do not contain questions about the application of Federal Laws, much less the US Constitutional, had no business being introduced before SCOTUS.
two of the three most liberal Justices should recognize the futility of trying to overturn the Florida decision, as it would end up increasing the incoming case load of SCOTUS by at least an order of magnitude, and the third, KBJ, would only be trying to protest the refusal of the VA case .... because that's what she does.
The assorted SCOTUS clerks would need to use the Autopen to handle the number of denials of writs of certiorari that would result!
Good point. Again, maybe giving them too much credit, but good point.
I’m sure somebody reminded the law offices of CopyPaste and BaitnSwitch, LLC/LLM, about the precedent, but I’m guessing they’re still in the “throw a shit fit and paint the walls with excrement” stage of political grief. Far be it from them to interrupt a good crashout because of logic and the real world.
And like I said, even if they get told to sod off and read the precedent, they get to cry in front of cameras about how unfair this all is and doesn’t anyone care about how they feel?
Even my dyed in the wool, suckle from the breast of her Mother, Disciple of St Franklin of the Rosy Fields has cut back on asking me how much I care about most of the folks like that.
She just goes away muttering about the EVUULLs of the Old White Patriarchy .... without noticing the irony of the detail that it takes an electron microscope to differentiate the models of Racist White Patriarchy espoused by Woodrow Wilson, FDR and LBJ from each other.
Everything I'm reading on line and hearing from a couple of folks with Law Degrees is there is no appeal to the SCotUS dealing with the constitutionality of Virginia Law and the Virginia Constitution. They'd have to come up with an extraordinary reason for SCotUS to hear the case.

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.

As Doc Krin mentioned, the Supremes won't hear it because there is no federal question. The case was decided only on state law questions.
First filing also called him “Attoney”. What a jerk.
As for SCOTUS, no federal statutes involved, so Roberts isn’t about to weigh in and mess with his perception of his legacy.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of commies…
Progressive Elite Democrats are a threat to our Constitutional Republic.
