People are still pretending that Alicent Hightower misinterpreted Viserys' final words in a good-faith misunderstanding. Here's why that's totally wrong, and totally laughable:

@sheepsleepdeep @ayumitulipp @elumaxluv Of course she did LMAO, here's the entire interaction with annotations: "I'm sorry. You wanted to know if I believed it to be true." (1) "Aegon." "Our son?" "His Dream." (2) "The Song of Ice... and Fire." (3) "It is true. What he saw in the North." (4) "Prince Aegon?"

@JMilesColeman This is absolutely going to happen. Two new justices in the next couple of years and even larger majorities in both houses means a new constitutional amendment and a much, much friendlier remap at every level for the Dems.

In light of Callais, I’m starting to wonder if/when they take a second bite at this, VA Dems drop the “temporary” messaging and just move to phase out the commission entirely.

@ChazNuttycombe I figure Ds will try again in VA

@breakingnorfolk @DrewSav Well it's literally not true, as the entire reason that the state finds itself in this exact place at this exact moment is because the state constitution was recently amended. You are a very stupid person and you're really bad at this.

Virginia doesn't need a new referendum. When the legislature appoints a new justice in January the case can be reheard but this time with a majority that ruled in favor of the amendment.

@flaammex @DrewSav Neither one of these things are even remotely true. What is even the point of saying things that no competent person would ever believe? Take your meds, goofy.

@breakingnorfolk @DrewSav The constitution of Virginia, famous for being impossible to amend. This is stupidity beyond parody.

@SwingStatement @DrewSav Strong words for a man who can’t understand the ‘process’ that every other attempt to amend the Virginia Constitution followed without failure. Ignorance isn’t a defense.

@breakingnorfolk @DrewSav Obviously not, as I clearly wrote the *process* by which the state is meant to obtain that is nonsensical. You're gonna need to bump up that reading comprehensive level a few grades if you want to participate in this whole "public discourse" thing, goofball.

@breakingnorfolk @DrewSav No, because the entire process enshrined by the amendment is contrived, convoluted, and nonsensical. We don't need our state Supreme Court overseeing a redraw simply because one party decides to deadlock, especially if *this* is how seriously the court takes its own rulings.

@flaammex @DrewSav What's unfair about what I wrote? Republicans in other states are just blatantly ignoring the plain language of their state constitutions to ram through mid-decade remaps. There's nothing wrong with Dems making smarter appointments to the state Supreme Court.

@Just1Conserv @Fritschner You're not getting it, goofball: the VA Dems are not settling for just a temporary Congressional remap after this. Kelsey and McCullough are as good as gone. Get used to 60D-40R in the HOD, and you'll look back on 22D-18R in the Senate as the Good Old Days. Enjoy Ben Cline, LMAO

@SwingStatement @Fritschner Morgan Griffith is in no danger. It'd be either Cline or some kind of college apocalypse to get McGuire. And if it's meaningless to you, then great and y'all probably could have saved all that effort and money if you knew you didn't have the merits.

@Just1Conserv @Fritschner Yes, I'm so sure the 64 Democrats in the HOD who are about to become 67 or 68 Democrats will definitely just rubber-stamp another small-c conservative onto this court after this total farce. That is definitely going to be what happens.

@SwingStatement @Fritschner SCOVA isn't like SCOTUS. Those two will probably get yeeted, but it won't produce an ideologically consistent progressive court like you think it will.

@Just1Conserv @Fritschner There's an election coming up in 2027 (just one, not 40+). One of the goobers who helped ensure that the VAGOP will keep losing seats will already be out of his. Shit's going to be working a whole lot differently in a few years and that'll be really fun.

@Just1Conserv @Fritschner Whether or not one or both of Ben Cline/Morgan Griffith get to continue aimlessly wandering around Washington accomplishing nothing is largely meaningless to me, the state, and the country.

@Just1Conserv @Fritschner The two clowns on VA-SC just yeeted their seats away over this farce, which as far as I'm concerned is another benefit this weird saga will yield in the coming two years.

@Just1Conserv @Fritschner And courts don't weigh the perceived political strategy of the litigants. The judges don't fold their hands and concede "well, you asked us not to rule yet, so..." I'm happy to watch the VAGOP get their shit packed further in over this come 2027. We're good over here.

@chucktodd @BarackObama @SpanbergerForVA Spanberger's probably thinking that 2 of the 4 people who authored this farce are clowns whose terms over the next couple of years, so it's time to work the phones to get their eventual replacements dialed up.

@Just1Conserv @Fritschner And the VA-SC doesn't work for them. Again: they had the capacity even with a plea to stay the Tazewell wingnut's ruling. "Vote no, pray yes" doesn't work for the Congressional GOP and the judicial variation of trying to pass the buck to voters doesn't either. It's Calvinball.

@SwingStatement @Fritschner The timing of this opinion is literally at the behest of Jay Jones and the Commonwealth. He and Louise loudly, publicly pressured SCOVA not to rule until after the election, hoping that the Court would decide the merits didn't matter. That's not what happened.

@Just1Conserv @Fritschner The majority's opinion is absolutely absurd on its face, especially since it didn't come pre-refererdum. They had the ability to issue this same decision originally, even if that wouldn't have satisfied both pleas, and they didn't.

@Just1Conserv @Fritschner There are two core issues, both of which are fully expressed in the dissent. The legislature did not close out the prior session, and we only actually have one election per cycle.

@Fritschner You violated the state's constitution in a way that incontrovertably shows that you knew you were violating it. If y'all hadn't gone hell for leather in favor of the longest early voting window in US history, you'd still have your maps today!
