Jonathan Turley Dunks on Democrats Over VA Supreme Court Gerrymander Ruling
“a face-planting of legendary size”
Professor Turley dunks on the Democrats over such a stunning loss.
Transcript via Mediaite:
TURLEY: No, that’s absolutely right, Sean, and there was a host of problems, but the most glaring was that one. Virginia was always the gold standard for gerrymandering. Virginia doesn’t like gerrymandering — makes it very difficult to do so. They have a commission to avoid gerrymandering. So to get this through, they had to do a sort of bum’s rush to get this in before the midterm elections. And the Supreme Court of Virginia said, “No, we’re not going to sign off on this.”
Now, this was a face-planting of legendary size for Governor [Abigail] Spanberger. She had previously assured voters that she was vehemently against gerrymandering. And as soon as she was elected, she went to the hard left, and then asked and pushed through the most radical gerrymandering scheme in the country. And so this is a remarkable effort that has resulted in a massive loss for the Democrats. They spent a fortune to get this thing through.
HANNITY: Sixty-four, 64 million.
TURLEY: Yeah! In addition to the 64 million, they alienated half of this state.

Spanberger, in particular, can’t afford a faceplant.
There just isn’t enough recognizable face left.
This case was decided based on a review of the procedural rules to change districts.
Since the state did not follow its rules, the VA Supreme Court invalidated the redistricting.
If the democrats started redistricting earlier and followed the rules, they would have won.
