Be proud, progressives, Democrats, Axis hacks! That is a metaphorical smoking gun that proves exactly how unethical your favorite party and its leaders have become:
1. It was not a fair election, because the wording of the referendum was intentionally deceptive.
2. “Free elections” have to follow state laws. This one didn’t.
3. The decision was unprecedented because no previous Virginia legislature had ever tried to rig an election in defiance of the state constitution before. The Virginia Supreme Court pointed that out explicitly.
4. Gerrymandering is not “voter suppression.” This is a flat out lie. Or does Jeffreys concede that the nine states above are “suppressing” GOP voters?
5. Biden’s Big Lie that Republicans want to put blacks “back in chains” is still being wielded by the unscrupulous Left. It’s an absurd slippery slope contention: Democrats can’t’ discriminate against whites in the South, and that means color-based poll taxes and lynchings are right around the corner. How stupid do Democrats think blacks are?
Naturally the Axis scholarly wing is trying to figure out how to allow Democrats to fix elections so they maintain permanent power. Michigan State law prof Quinn Yeargain proposed gutting Virginia’s Supreme Court by forcing the retirement of the current justices, appointing partisan, liberal activists, and then overturning the opinion in time for the mid-terms.
Professor Yeargain called this is “a simple – and lawful – solution: Send the entire court into early retirement.” Unethical? Hey, the ends justifies the means, right?
Finally, red-pilled Democrat Prof. Jonathan Turley wrote a truth-telling piece on his blog, titled, “The Gerrymander Debacle in Virginia Leaves the Democratic Party with a Dangerous Agenda.” Read it all, though Turley is wrong in one respect: the Democratic Party has had a dangerous agenda for more than a decade. Here is a sample of his analysis:
“The court just cooked the party’s infamous lobster, a district over 100 miles long that was designed to help devour the GOP’s slender majority in the House of Representatives. It also cooked the ambitions of Gov. Abigail Spanberger and the Democratic establishment, which tossed aside any pretense of principle in a raw political gambit. The resulting faceplant is nothing short of legendary: Spanberger’s Democrats have succeeded in alienating half of the state. For the governor, the court’s decision was particularly embarrassing.Before assuming power, Spanberger denounced gerrymandering as “detrimental to our democracy and weakens the individual voices that form our electorates.” She ran as a moderate, but Spanberger immediately turned sharply left once in office and called for the most extreme gerrymander in the nation. The court found that effort was not only unconstitutional, but “wholly unprecedented in Virginia’s history.” It characterized the state’s position as “a story of the tail wagging the dog that has no tail.” While some of us had previously expressed skepticism over the rushed effort to circumvent the state constitution, the media almost exclusively relied on liberal experts who predicted the new districts would be upheld. It was a calculated risk for Democrats, who have now burned their bridges with Virginia conservative and Republican voters.”
Bingo.
