Democrats faced a setback yesterday when the Virginia Supreme Court struck down the gerrymandered map that had given them a 10-1 advantage. They failed to follow proper procedures and broke the state constitution. As a result, the map was invalidated. It’s a common occurrence. This doesn’t spell the end for the United States, nor does it represent some grave injustice. Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) released this video, but there’s one issue: he appointed the judge who authored the opinion.

He was also appointed to the Court of Appeals by Mark Warner and was confirmed to the Supreme Court by a unanimous vote in the General Assembly— just like the rest of the justices on the court. https://t.co/UP5f33MQ7J

So, enough with the games, man. You guys tried to sneak one through, violated procedure, and got burned.
You lose, America wins.
In the meantime, in a desperate attempt to prevent their map from being trashed, Democrats are asking the Virginia Supreme Court to stay its ruling while they appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Over what? There is no federal angle here. It was a state court deciding on a matter relating to the state's constitution.
Lmfao Virginia Democrats want the VA Supreme Court to stay their ruling while they appeal their case to the Supreme Court... which doesn't have jurisdiction because it was a state constitutional question ruled on by a state Supreme Court. https://t.co/QxFyNPmWod
