Focusing on a "3 year high" intentionally misses the fact that prices as a whole increased $21% during the Biden presidency which we are still reeling from. An economy can't adapt when prices rise that quickly and it takes YEARS to recover. If the Biden presidency had 4 years of this "super duper scary" inflation it would still be only 15%. 40% of the inflation number is due to energy prices, and once those stabilize, which they WILL, inflation will go down and this higher inflation month will be a whisper in the wind.

Agreed. I don't think it will be granted. It's really just so they can have more ammo to say that the Supreme Court is corrupt or whatever. They just want to be able to say they tried it all. The funny part, is that Democrats complain to no end about the Shadow Docket but that is what THIS is. They are just calling it by it's official name Emergency Application or Emergency Docket. Hypocracy at work.

@DukeLetto @MichelleMaxwell Then the next point to consider is that their requested relief is pointless. If they get the stay, that just means the Tazewell ruling is in force, which is the same net result. They're just not good at this.

Ok, so the AG of Virginia, Jay Jones, has filed an emergency appeal to the United States Supreme Court asking them to overrule the Virginia State Supreme Courts ruling, and while he may have sent it through spellcheck this time, he failed to change templates..because this one is still going to the Supreme Court of Virginia. The incompetence is mind blowing. 😆😆😆

The Emergency Application of a stay TO the Virginia Supreme Court IS the correct wording here. They're asking for emergency application of a "stay" TO the Virginia Supreme Court's ruling via the US Supreme Court. I'm not a fan of what Virginia Democrats are doing either, but the wording here is actually correct.

Uhhhh... citing federal cases as persuasive (not controlling, ie, precedential) authority, as the #SCOVA did in its Friday ruling, does not provide the #SCOTUS w/ jurisdiction. I think we need some remedial civics classes among certain Va. elected officials @ETI_now

The Virginia Attorney General put more thought into the texts he wrote wishing death on Republicans and their children than into what he files at the Supreme Court of the United States.
Ed Whelan@EdWhelanEPPC

Very weird that cover page states "On Emergency Application to the Supreme Court of Virginia." That's the styling for a petition for a writ of certiorari, but it makes no sense to say that the emergency application is "to" the Supreme Court of Virginia.

The emergency application DOES apply to the Virginia Court here. I know we all want to dunk on this but here they are asking the US Supreme Court to apply the Emergency Application of a "stay" TO the Virginia Supreme Court ruling. The wording is correct here. I think it just goes to the fact that most people don't understand what Emergency Application of a "stay" are and how they're used. If it had said "Emergency Application to the US Supreme Court that would be impossible. There is no higher court can apply a "stay" to the Supreme Court.

They blew $80M on a referendum without doing the basic legal work Then they misspelled “Virginia” and “Senator” in a filing to the Supreme Court. They made their emergency application… to the wrong court. But I’m SURE the new Supreme Court they install will be top notch.
Jason Miyares@JasonMiyaresVA

Good News: Dems managed to spell Virginia correctly. Bad News: They sent their emergency application to SCOTUS to the wrong court. Baby steps.

The "what" is a "stay". They want to apply emergency application of a stay ON the Virginia Supreme Court. The funny part is this is the "shadow docket" that they have complained about for years and here they want to use it when it benefits them but they call it by it's true name "emergency application".

@DukeLetto @MichelleMaxwell So in adjacent lines they have used the term application in two different ways? And "On the emergency Application" of WHAT to the Virginia SCOTUS. Even at best, still seems pretty sloppy

@politico Isn't it interesting how when they don't like it they call it the Shadow Docket and when they need it they call it an Emergency Application? Which is what it is actually called.

@GovernorVA When you ask a large group of people if they want to "restore fairness" and give them a yes or no option, people who don't know what it is will vote yes. It was intentionally misleading and I'm sure that was the intention of those who drafted the wording.

Governor Abigail Spanberger
Governor Abigail Spanberger@GovernorVA·
More than three million Virginians cast their ballots in Virginia’s redistricting referendum, and the majority of Virginia voters voted to push back against a President who said he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress with a temporary and responsive referendum. They made their voices heard. I am disappointed by the Supreme Court of Virginia’s ruling, but my focus as Governor will be on ensuring that all voters have the information necessary to make their voices heard this November in the midterm elections because in those elections we — the voters — will have the final say.

I think this is the last straw for me. I still followed and read this publication because I wanted to do my best to not be in a vaccum, and no one is happy that people got shot during this incident, but the framing here is so over the top biased that even Gemini can't get around how the author spun the facts to fit his narrative. Of course nobody is ok with what happened, but he was attacked by the first person and then swarmed and hit with the treads of a skateboard in the head by the second person. That is completely different than simply "opening fire" which makes it seem like he was some active shooter. AI is available for everyone to research any of this themselves. I hope more people wake up to this.

@RichardGrenell He obviously won the debate, but this is on who will WIN and even though it may be frustrating, California may just vote for D no matter who is perceived to be in that camp. Maybe we'll get proved wrong but we'll see.

@Tim_Walz Adjusted for inflation, the price of gas was higher than it is now for 4 out of the 8 years of the Obama presidency. Prices are all relative, gotta remember that.

@jackunheard I think the issue is more that the World War 11 blunder wasn't a recent event. That's aside from the left leaning bias at SNL.

I’m probably going to get hated on this, and thats fine, i’m all for discussing. It’s gorgeous yes, but why so expensive??? I get it: “Farm the gold and use that” But it’s almost the cost of an Epic Edition for an Expansion…??? For housing stuff???
