That’s almost exactly what the Democrats intend to do. I think it was the New York Times that reported that the Democrats are putting together legislation to lower the retirement age for justices on the Virginia Supreme Court to 53, effective immediately. The youngest current justice is 54, so all seven justices would be immediately forced to retire.

The Democrats would then appoint seven new justices who who would agree to overturn the previous redistricting decision (although they probably wouldn’t stop there). They apparently plan to have all of this done this week.

The backup plan is to just ignore the ruling and run the elections with their preferred districts regardless of who or which court objects. One way or another they intend to send ten Democrats to Congress next year.

“Those judges do deserve impeachment!
States need to start holding them accountable”

Held accountable by whom? The entire state government is now controlled by the Dems and unless and until vote integrity laws pass (good luck with that), that will continue.

The very people who would be required to “hold them accountable” are the ones who illegally tried to push the gerrymander through.

It’s much more likely that the Virginia government will try to manufacture ways to impeach the four who voted for the rule of law so they can be replaced by judges with a more…flexible…view of the purpose of the courts.

I actually thought (hoped) it might go this way. We’re very lucky that the dems haven’t had their stranglehold long enough to have packed the VA Supreme Court with political activists….yet.

“Before voters weigh in on an amendment to the State Constitution, the General Assembly must approve it twice, with an election for the state’s House of Delegates taking place between the two votes. The first vote for this amendment was on Oct. 31, just days before the state election.”

I believe they also violated a provision of the legislative rules that requires a vote to modify the agenda of the special session during which the amendment was originally passed. Not sure if that came up in the lawsuit though.

I have to agree that allowing something like eight weeks of early voting and then claiming the “election” is only on the final election day is not right.

There’s no “seems” about it, the procedural violations were egregious, obvious and numerous. That 3 partisan hacks voted in favor of letting that attempt at disenfranchisement stand reveals nothing less than judicial malfeasance.
