@baseballcrank @medianvoters @Heminator Democrats have been very successful when it appeared spots on SCOTUS would be in the balance, like say 2016

@medianvoters @Heminator It would not be unprecedented.

Does a single Democrat understand what the McConnell rule is? It only refers to confirmations with divided government in election years — and it was articulated and defended by Joe Biden years before McConnell.

@RobProvince East Dakota, West Dakota, Minor Texas, Major Texas, Greater Florida, Even Greater Florida. Maybe even sell the naming rights

What exactly is the Democrats plan when they expand all these things to grab power back when the other side will just do the same thing? We’re seeing this now with redistricting.

@CMDeDominicis @BizNasty2point0 I don’t understand how he impaired him when he didn’t move him and he was in the same spot before and after the contact until the Olympic level diver teammate hits him

@BizNasty2point0 Not what they called

Stick pushes glove on follow through. Clearly pushes hand.

@JeremyWGR In another hour I am going to have no idea to which of the 7 calls you are talking about

As bad a call as you might ever see there

@sck1919 @TimFullm @DrakeMT And how many times have Buffalo come out with the PP vs Mtl

@StrathB97 @TimFullm @DrakeMT Are you high? Or just dumb? Several times players on both teams have been putting each other in headlocks. Norris and his cheap shot twice. lol. Let’s talk about headlocks.

I assume MSL's argument is for Helenius coming across, but you have Guhle making contact as well. I'd be surprised if they give him this one.

@sck1919 @TimFullm @DrakeMT I have seen 8 Sabres in headlocks after the whistles and taking punches to the face and not once in 4 games has Mtl been the team singled out for the penalty, coincidence

@TimFullm @DrakeMT Bro come on you can’t be serious. Zucker deserved his penalty. Krebs did too. So did Tage. No reason to even touch him after the whistle. Dahlins’ penalty was stupid of him to do. Guhle even tried avoiding him. Stop it. Sabres put themselves here with their lack of discipline,

@BizNasty2point0 And the goal called back and the soft penalty on their only PP of the game but sure it’s not a ref show

Sabres fans, now that was a soft call. Thompson gives him a little bump and Guhle drops to his knees. That’s one to be pissed about. Now Caufield makes them pay. 2–1 Habs. Oh no. Sabres outplay Montreal and find themselves behind. Time to regroup.

@JoeYerdon Starts with a cross check to Benson that breaks the stick and of course comes out well for Montreal, I am glad the coach and GM have a channel for discussions with the league

Canadiens get a power play out of all that mess and that's probably the right thing. It's all over but the shouting and shoving now

@gosabs11 @ByMHarrington And he tried jumping to avoid contact

@ByMHarrington Did you miss Malenstyn being pushed big guy?

There's your crash into Lyon. By Veleno....But it happened largely with Dahlin pushing him in the back so there's no call there. They got that right. #Sabres #Habs

@JoeYerdon Getting penalties called on Danny Gare tonight but these refs are calling another one right down the middle

The Canadiens will get a power play out of the fracas and the fans are still somehow unhappy with it. Malenstyn gets goalie interference, Greenway gets roughing, Bolduc goes to the box for the Habs.

@Angry_Staffer Where would such an idea come from?

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

@BMaz1 Montreal typical

Sorry I thought this was the playoffs

@redsteeze We don’t want Kings that rule outside the law, unless we agree with their position, then we want Kings

That's the spirit.

@Phantom2Phlyer They didn’t even have to get into the argument of the biased language on the ballot, that would have probably been shot down on those grounds as well

OK, here's why the Democrats got kicked in the groin by the Virginia Supreme Court. The people of Virginia, in trying to protect against momentary democratic (small 'd') emotions of the day, put into their Constitution that, in order to amend it, there had to be two things happen. First, any proposal to amend their Constitution required that two legislatures, separated by an election (and there's the big part), vote to put the amendment before the people. The Virginia Democrats didn't do that. They stuck the first reading into a special budgetary session, and the next reading into a general session. While the resolution passed both times, there wasn't an election in between the two votes. So there was no election that separated the legislature who voted in a special session, and the legislature that voted for the amendment in the general session. Moreover, the Virginia Constitution required that the votes be taken in two general legislature sessions. The special session that was called was not a general session. So this action violated the Virginia Constitution in two separate ways. Which is why the Virginia Supreme Court shot it down. So when you see the Democrats whining because 'democracy was overturned,' they're right. Because we're not a democracy, and neither is Virginia. We're a republic, and so is Virginia. We're ruled by the Constitution and the rule of law, not by mob rule, which the Democrats prefer.

@yayathehun @GovernorVA No Kings!

. @GovernorVA

@jaubreyYT Sounds like you want a King

I want a Democratic Party that fights twice as ruthlessly as the Republicans. No more reaching across the aisle bullshit, there is no middle ground with these freaks who are actively trying to undermine the will of the people.

@AllAllAllOr @GovernorVA I don’t the SC even had to get to that point of the arguments, I don’t think it would have passed muster

@GovernorVA They were lied to on the deceptive ballot. Should have been overturned for that reason alone.

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.

@mmpadellan If only every state had a King, you could push through whatever you wanted

So the Virginia Supreme Court is as full of shit as the US Supreme Court I'm so fucking mad right now

@sstaedtler8787 @electionsjoe I don’t know, it was multi months long, should rules even count at that point?

@electionsjoe They broke 4 laws just getting to the process in Virginia. You can't defy state laws.

I love how republican states can gerrymander their maps in a day. But Democratic ones can't even with a multi month long process and letting the voters decide. Absolutely ridiculous.

@isaiahrmartin Any word on when the decision will come through?

Pleased with the arguments in front of the Virginia Supreme Court today. The Republican lawyers were flailing per usual. I look forward to the court dropping the hammer and confirming this 10-1 BIG BEAUTIFUL BLUE MAP once and for all!
