@electionsjoe Another “expert” who is too lazy to read the actual decision. The court explicitly addresses this.

To be fair. The courts should have stepped in and stopped the election if they even thought there was a chance it would get overturned. To let millions be spent and voters waste their time on a void election is actually insane.

A blame game is playing out after Virginia’s redistricting referendum was overturned and more than $70 million was spent by Democrats on the campaign. foxnews.com/politics/virgi…

Hakeem wanting to overturn a state's Supreme Court decision sounds like something a king would do. No Kings?

Democrats in VA are considering forcing their entire Supreme Court to retire & filling the bench w/new ppl while also overturning constitutional amendment that created their independent redistricting commission. They just love democracy so gosh darn much! archive.ph/TZDh7

Can you imagine that the Democrats are discussing lowering the retirement age of the Va Supreme Court to 54 which would force the entire court to resign (including the three that voted with them). Then stack the court with 7 justices who would have pledged to reverse the redistricting decision. This is your Democrat party. Power hungry thugs. Willing to burn a high court to the ground that dares to disagree with them. They should never have power again.

On this Mother's Day, we remember Shiri Bibas. This horrifying picture of her with her kids will haunt me forever. The fear in her eyes, the hopelessness. They were kidnapped alive and brutally murdered. I will never forgive or forget. May their memory be a blessing forever.

@ChrisCillizza @GarrenShipley Just releasing this plan will almost certainly do incalculable damage to the DNC at the federal level. Showing what’s coming next if they ever get control again — and this being it — is not a good look.

I still think Virginia Democrats’ best argument is this: our current congressional map took race into consideration. Under the recent SCOTUS ruling, that raises a federal constitutional problem. If so, the state constitutional objections become moot, and Virginia needs a new congressional map.

@Dad44Rva @shipwreckedcrew So, the nonpartisan redistricting committee is toast. So much for this being “temporary.” Another lie from Virginia Democrats and Spanberger.

@shipwreckedcrew If think if they start from scratch they could pass it come the session in spring 2027. We have our next legislative election in fall '27. They could have a special session to pass it again after that and put it on the ballot in spring' 28 to use for fall 28 election.

Correct -- but because of the intervening election requirement, the earliest they could get the 10-1 map back onto the ballot would be Nov. 2028, and it wouldn't apply until 2030.
mcames@mcames1635

@shipwreckedcrew This is a silly idea simply because the author of the majority opinion in the redistricting case is up for reappointment next year. The Dems only need to replace him to get a majority.

@vahousegop It’s more than unhinged. It’s fascist. Virginia Democrats might as well just line the current state Supreme Court justices up against the wall and execute them.

The current ages of the 7 Justices on the Virginia Supreme Court are: 70 69 67 64 61 56 54 The idea that the legislature would lower the retirement age to 53 in order to remove them all is just beyond wild. Then they would install 7 new Justices who would have to commit in advance to reversing the prior Court's decision -- that tells you everything you would ever need to know about anyone who would pledge to do that. Three Justices voted in the minority, but you can't exempt them from the retirement because they might object to a corrupt process to remove their colleagues for no reason other than naked partisan politics. This would DESTROY the functional independence of the Virginia Supreme Court, and be a permanent stain on the votes of every Virginia Assembly Democrat who went along with it. It would bring condemnation from Courts and Legislatures all across the country. Virginians need to take a hard look at the people it is electing, and ask whether they have the foundational commitment to the Great American Experiment that has held this country together -- even through a Civil War. In Virginia, of all places.
Tyler Englander@TylerEnglander

Per The New York Times, there are discussions among congressional Democrats about still trying to implement a new congressional map in Virginia despite the Supreme Court of Virginia’s ruling. That process could include lowering the retirement age of Supreme Court justices and trying to invalidate the constitutional amendment that created Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting commission. nytimes.com/2026/05/10/us/…

Sure, if Abigail Spanberger wants to crater her already historically low approval rating into the 30s, go right ahead. Nothing says “rule of law” like court packing the Va Supreme Court for saying NO to your illegal and unconstitutional gerrymandering scheme.

Sounds like Democrats are considering throwing out the state government for two congressional seats nytimes.com/2026/05/10/us/…

Let's sum up the Democratic plan here: • Declare EXISTING redistricting commission unconstitutional. • Force all 7 sitting SCOVA justices out via a retirement age of 54. • Ram through whatever maps they want for however long they want. nytimes.com/2026/05/10/us/…
