Virginia Asks U.S. Supreme Court to Reverse the State Supreme Court on Redistricting — 24 Comments

  1. Virginia wants the US Supreme Court to overturn an interpretation of the Virginia Constitution by the Supreme Court of Virginia.

    The procedure to amend the Virginia Constitution is (1) Pass a proposed constitutional amendment; (2) Hold a general election; (3) Pass the constitutional amendment a second time; (4) Approved in referendum.

    Presumably the reason for the intervening general election is so that candidates can campaign for or against the amendment (e.g, campaigning against Kansas/Nebraska act destroyed the Whig Party). In this case, the proposed constitutional amendment was approved on October 31, 2025; and the “intervening general election” was November 4, 2025; four days later. In Virginia, early voting begins 45 days prior to the election date. By the time the amendment was passed the first time almost 40% of voters had cast their vote.

  2. “Virginia wants the US Supreme Court to overturn an interpretation of the Virginia Constitution by the Supreme Court of Virginia.”

    Improper jurisdiction. Mr. Riley can correct the technical legal term but the general principle of why this is completely improper is obvious to the layman.

  3. By supporting Donald Trump, we’re supporting Apartheid! We’re crapping on all kaffirs by supporting Meneer Trump!

    That’s to be expected when you have the real globalist, communist, and treasonous tyrants and their dupes, plus troll morons like the one that programs the nAZi-666 spambot, constantly spreading lies that Liberator Trump is a tyrant, when he’s actually the opposite.

    Tyrants frequently get assassinated, as they should. Allowing these disgusting lies to be spread here is thus directly encouraging more of these assassination attempts against our precious and holy President!

  8. Shame on Richard Left Winger and Bill Red Path for allowing the nAZi-666 spambot to keep falsely calling our Lord and Savior Donald Trump a “tyrant” and thus directly inciting more assassination attempts against the greatest POTUS ever!

    Free Speech is great, but that is yelling fire in a crowded theater! It clearly crosses the line and incites assassination attempts!

    Look up Achievements of Donald Trump at Conservapedia! So Awesome!

  9. Rise to the occasion, for the Caucasian persuasion!

  10. 2026 “WHITE” POWER = 1933-1945 NAZI FASCIST MASTER RACE POWER ???

    >>> 80 MILLION DEAD IN 1939-1945 WORLDWIDE

  11. LOL. The spambot doesn’t know anything about Winston Churchill’s racial views, does it?

  12. Donald Trump is the man, a Klansman, member of the Klan! If Donald Trump can’t save America then I bet nobody can!

  13. I’ve been voting for Trump for President every election since 1488! I wrote him in all the times before he was on the ballot! Go to the FLORABAMA y’all! Mullet Toss on the beach!

  14. Chief Justice Roberts has requested a response by May 14, 5 PM (EDT).

    There was also a curious procedure by the Virginia legislature. The Virginia Constitution limits regular sessions to 60 and 30 days, for even and odd year sessions, respectively. The legislature, by a 2/3 vote may extend the regular sessions by 30 days each.

    Because Virginia elects its legislature in odd years, the first session is in even years. For this discussion, the election was in November 2023, and the first regular session began in January 2024. A special session was called in May 2024 to consider budget bills. The second regular session began in January 2025, and the special session was extended (i.e. the second regular session and the special session were concurrent). In October 2025, the special session was extended until January 2025, along with the addition of consideration of redistricting amendment. So while the two regular sessions were limited to at most 2 and 3 months, the special session lasted 20 months.

    Since the Virginia Supreme Court decided the case on the issue of what an election day is, they said that they did not have to reach the issue of the never-ending special session.

  15. Democrats in Virginia considered reducing the retirement age of judges from 73 to 54. In Virginia supreme court justices are elected by the legislature to 12-year terms, but they have to retired at 73, permitting election of a new judge.

    If the retirement age was reduced to 54, all seven judges would be forced to retire, and the legislature could elected a new Supreme Court.

    Two of the three oldest justices are black and voted in the minority on the 4-3 redistricting decision. The newest justice was elected just this year, and at 67 it would have been known that he could only serve six years or so.

    The discussion of retiring the judges was apparently discussed in a “huddle” that included Hakeem Jeffries.

    A Democratic operative called the idea, “schizo hopium.”
