Angry Staffer Gets a Heapin' Helpin' of GOV 101 After Claiming VA Decision Should Overturn FL and TN

Awww, would you look at that? Angry Staffer is angry about the Virginia Supreme Court throwing the Democrats' gerrymander out for being unconstitutional.

And he or she or ze or zhe thinks that since the court threw it out in Virginia that Florida and Tennessee should follow suit.

Except, of course, this is about the law and constitution of Virginia which has nothing to do with Florida or Tennessee.

Maybe the staffer wouldn't be so angry if he or she or ze or zhe spent a little more time working to understand how things ... work.

Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down.

If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷‍♂️

State law.

How does it work?

State laws… what are they and how do they work?

Like most feds, you obviously don’t have any understanding of States Rights. The states have their individual constitutions. And they have to follow their constitution and the US Constitution.
Good luck with your cheating!

If Virginia had followed their rules, the map might have been fine.

Womp womp womp.

Sigh this is a good sign that you didn’t read the ruling.

The ruling says they violated the Virginia constitution. Why would the Florida and Tennessee maps be impacted by the Virginia Constitution?

Maybe it was unwise to have this fight… https://t.co/L1iPh4rfaA
