CNN’s Scott Jennings Scoffs at Thought of SCOTUS Overturning VA Supreme Court
“There’s a better chance of me sprouting wings and flying out of that window over there”
It has been kind of funny watching Democrats claim that they are going to appeal the recent ruling on Congressional districts by the Virginia Supreme Court to the United States Supreme Court. I mean, they have spent months calling SCOTUS illegitimate. Now they want the same court to save them?
On CNN last night, Scott Jennings suggested that it’s not even going to get that far. He may have a point.
Transcript via Curtis Houck of NewsBusters:
“There’s a better chance of me sprouting wings and flying out of that window over there than the United States Supreme Court dealing with this in any way, because this is a state Supreme Court ruling on a state constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t deal with these kinds of things, number one. Number two, the freakout in Virginia has been so extreme.
You even have Democrats over there who are saying they want to effectively, politically decapitate the entire Virginia Supreme Court by putting an age limit of 54 so they can get rid of every existing justice and install people who will promise to rule a certain way on a certain case. You know, they went from, oh, this is just a temporary map thing to let’s burn down the entire Virginia Supreme Court in about two seconds over there in Virginia, which tells you all you need to know about just how power hungry and corrupt the Democrats are in Virginia.
This is not going to work at the U.S. Supreme Court. And this whole project of maximum warfare by Hakeem Jeffries is completely blown up in their face.”
At the end of the segment, a liberal contributor tries to make the issue all about Trump. Jennings responds:
“I mean, in Virginia, you had Democrats in Virginia who broke the law and broke the state constitution to try to move a 6-5, fairly constructed map to a 10-1. They got struck down by Democrats on their own Supreme Court, and now they want to decapitate an entire branch of government over it? It’s ridiculous.”

Jason Miyares, the former attorney general of Virginia, is of the same mind. During an appearance on FOX News last night, he said, “It’s going to get laughed out by the Supreme Court.” Watch:

This isn’t about whether the supremes would decide on this case or not.
It’s about dems being able to blame someone so they can say “see we need to pack the Supreme Court”.
Which by it self is hilarious since the VA opinion was written by a Democrat justice.
Strange since Dems have been screeching fascist and dictator for months and now they don’t get a court ruling to go along with their illegal scheme they want to dismantle the courts to do what they want. Sounds kinda fascist to me.
Just wait for Justice Cabbage to issue the loan scathing dissent against the US SC not hearing this appeal.
KBJ, affectionately known as the Black Cabbage Patch Justice doll, has a head full of cabbage and a mouth full of scathing dissent.
That’s a keeper!
I prefer Affirmative Action Jackson, apologies to Carl Weathers
Paul Ryan’s Sister-in-Law? PRSIL?
I see her as less of a cabbage and more of a Chihuahua.
the dems keep this going b/c they will win one way or another
and by enraging their known blmplo street armies to do what they do best..and its not studying for a college degree…… the war continues
“which tells you all you need to know about just how power hungry and corrupt the Democrats are in Virginia”
Since when is the party of slavery and satan evils limited to one state?
RICO includes immigration conspiracies
“Cut off the head and the body surely dies”
Use RICO to permanently abolish the lying, satanic Democrat crime cabal.
Seize every asset, especially the lying Marxist press
He is right that this was never temporary. No way VA Dems allow the “bipartisan” committee to restore those 4 seats in 2032. I believe there would have been another referendum in 2027 or 2029 to repeal the amendment the put the committee in place.
Exactly. And that is why the 2027 elections are so important in Virginia. The entire HOD and State Senate is up for election. They can repeal the redistricting commission amendment, but they must pass it twice – now and after the 2027 election in January 2028 before putting it on the ballot. The VA Senate is closely divided. We must concentrate on flipping enough seats to deny the Rats a majority.
Of course.
The only reason they passed it in the first place was because in 2019 they were terrified they were about to be wiped out so they locked in the 6-5 map so Republicans couldn’t take seats from them.
As I understand it, the Dems opposed the 2020 amendment that established the bipartisan districting commission. It was a Republican initiative, presumably as insurance against a Dem-controlled legislature doing precisely this.
Some Dems opposed it. But a Dem legislature passed it the 2nd time and sent it to voters. Probably both parties seeking insurance around that time, since the state was so evenly divided.
How doest the VA SCt decision violate the US Constitution? Bad faith appeal, There should be sanctions.
They don’t allege a constitutional violation. They allege that the VA court relied on federal laws and court decisions, and got them wrong, and therefore, they claim, the US supreme court has jurisdiction to correct the VA court’s errors. They rely on USC 28 § 1257, but the connection they draw between the grant of jurisdiction in that and this case makes “tenuous” seem like a strong word.
Tenuous like a strand of spaghetti being pulled by two elephants.
Yeah, really don’t get this. They could have summed up the entire opinion in six words. ” you didn’t follow the directions, retards”
You can sum it up as “you started too late”.
No. The Dems say they did follow the directions. The question is what the directions say. What does the word “election” mean, in this context? And that’s exactly what courts are for. It’s a question never answered until now, and the correct answer is not obvious. A different court might well have come up with a different answer.
The Dems’ position is superficially the better one, the more textualist one — “election” means the event that happens on Election Day. The Reps’ position, which the court adopted, is that in this context only the word means the entire election season. And that’s based not on the text but on the purpose for which that specific clause was enacted, which would be defeated by a more literal interpretation.
The absurdity they run into is that people voting during early voting is then not part of an election. Nor is the vote counting if it extends beyond Election Day. An appeal to Textualism does not define what is “in” the text.
Tmiker, the Dem position, which is completely reasonable, is that early voting, by definition, takes place before the election. That’s why it’s called “early”. If the election were already in progress then it wouldn’t be early, it would be on time.
And they correctly pointed out that the VA constitution itself defines the election as happening on one day, not a whole season.
The problem with that interpretation is that if it were used to interpret this clause, it would defeat the clause’s purpose. Therefore, the Reps argued and the court agreed, the word “election” in this clause only means the whole election season.
That’s a reasonable position to take, but so is the opposite. And I am 100% certain that were the parties reversed — the Reps arguing that the election is one day and the Dems arguing that it was a whole season — at least half of the commenters here would not only immediately adopt the opposite position, but argue with equal vehemence that it was obviously correct and those advancing the opposite view were stupid or dishonest.
String Theory is not basis for a legal appeal.
Huh?!
Yeah, they blew $70M, but that is nothing to the Democrats. Pocket change. Their NGO-based political machine has tens of billions – essentially limitless funds. They can draw directly on the CCP for funding as well as US Gov’t programs that weren’t cancelled by DOGE. And they are fighting like cornered rats, which are the most dangerous kind. Never underestimate them. Regardless of what happens in the Midterms, 2028 is the Big Enchilada. The next President will oversee the Census and the Reapportionment. The Democrats will literally do anything to win full control of the Federal Government in 2028.
Is this written correctly:
“On The Emergency Application to the Supreme Count of Virginia”
https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25/25A1240/408563/20260511151941216_25A%20Application%20for%20Stay.pdf
That just simply the D E I hire proving that they are a Dei hire
Yes, it is correctly written. That is what the appeal is about. The Supreme Court of Virginia denied the emergency application, and they would like the Supreme Court of the United States to tell it that it was wrong.
No, it is not correctly written. It is rather poorly written with spelling errors and all that. I’d be ashamed if I were a State AG and that was what my office produced to go to SCOTUS. I expect SCOTUS to deny the appeal with no explanation.
The line we are discussing is correctly written. If you think it’s not, explain what’s wrong with it and why it should have been written differently.
And if you think the brief as a whole is poorly written and has spelling errors, please point them out. I haven’t read through it, since it’s 270 pages, so I can’t positively say there aren’t errors, but I haven’t seen anyone point any out.
Jeffries needs to be taken in for a 72 hour evaluation. He’s on the verge of hurting someone or himself with his maximum warfare comments,
