Democrats in Virginia just got exactly what they wanted from the Supreme Court.
They knew from the start there was no real federal issue. Their map was struck down for violating Virginia’s own constitution on timing and procedure. The U.S. Supreme Court almost never steps in on a state court interpreting its own state constitution. They knew this appeal was dead on arrival.
Yet they filed it anyway.
Why? Because they wanted a clean loss at the Supreme Court. They wanted to point at the conservative majority and scream, “See? It’s a Republican-led Supreme Court blocking the will of the voters!”
This wasn’t about winning new maps. It was about manufacturing outrage to push their real goal — packing the Supreme Court.
When the system doesn’t give them what they want, they attack the system itself.
No spine. Knees.
