After the Virginia Supreme Court on Friday struck down a voter-approved Democratic congressional redistricting plan, Democratic lawmakers in the commonwealth notified the court they intend to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Friday’s ruling by the state supreme court delivered another major setback to the party’s nationwide battle against Republicans for an edge in this year’s midterm elections.

Democrats, led by House Speaker Don Scott and Attorney General Jay Jones, filed a motion late Friday afternoon asking the state supreme court to pause its ruling from taking effect while they appeal for an emergency hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court.

    That’s one level of fuckery I didn’t think of. But again… Roberts is tired of being called an illegitimate partisan hack. Also, Brown is not taking shit from Alito and is even confirming the Roberts court is illegitimate with her dissents.

    So yeah, Roberts can do the right thing only because he’s compelled to or just reinforce what we already know: that he’s a paid for white supremacists shill from the Heratige Foundation.

    (I still don’t hate him as much as Thomas as at least Roberts is trying to do what he needs to to support his white race. What’s Thomas’s excuse?)
