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:
