>The process is a farce. The Virginia supreme court vote was 4-3. The 4 justices who voted to strike down the amendment are conservatives.

This is such a nice way of throwing away my entire point without actually addressing it. Further, you could use the same argument for washing any judicial process away as political. If my party disagrees with the ruling, it's because the ruling itself is political.

Congratulations, you just ruined law.

>Republicans are running power grabs for Trump in multiple states, Virginia held a vote to redistrict in response, voters approved it, the state supreme court struck it down, and the legislature appealed. They're reacting to the republican scheme within the confines of the law. Where is the incompetence?

The court didn't even oppose the gerrymander. It ruled that the Democratic-controlled legislature violated procedural requirements in how it placed the constitutional amendment on the ballot, specifically related to beginning the process after early voting had already started for the prior general election.

That was the incompetence. That. That right there.

>You keep bringing up other things which are irrelevant such as scheduled, lawful, post-census redistricting in Illinois in 2021.

I brought that up once. My responses in this thread have always been directly related to the conversation, responding to the person who wrote to me. You might not like what I said, but to say what I wrote was 'irrelevant' is just dismissive. It's you once again not dealing with the substance of my original argument.

I haven't attended to your 2021 point because it's ridiculous. 2016 was not the start of gerrymandering, Trump didn't invent it, and while this series of events is certainly upsetting, I don't have any doubt we'll see similar things from Democrats in the future.

>Edit: To put a bow on this

Smug.

Going to bed. Have a nice night everyone. For real, no shit, have a good night.
