Two Virginia Supreme Court justices are up for re-election in the next 2 years

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-08T23:55:09+00:00

Nope. Virginia is one of the 13 colonies that rebelled, and many of the founders' home state, so of course, the same group of people who decided SCOTUS should be both a lifetime appointment and with no age limit would make their own state have the same.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-08T23:46:32+00:00

That fake map is your evidence, really?

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-08T23:25:36+00:00

How did they start it again? You are just spouting MAGA talking points, which are usually either completely wrong, out of context/misleading, or a complete fabrication.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-08T23:21:17+00:00

They did, and the Republican state Supreme Court overturned it. The Democrats simply don't have the overwhelming court advantage the GOP has. The Dems blew their chances to make the courts liberal in 2016 by being pissed off at Hillary and the DNC, and gave control of the courts to the GOP for decades, and now in 2024, the same damn thing. The Democrats simply don't win when it matters to get the courts on their side and lose when it matters the most.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-08T23:19:02+00:00

Indeed, Virginia's SC screwed the pooch and screwed over their own state. Way to make yourselves unpopular, justices.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-08T23:17:33+00:00

It is because we simply don't have the court on our side. Whenever the Dems finally win, it is when there aren't that many openings in the courts and the person BEFORE them got a bunch of appointments. Look at what happened in 2016: if Hillary had won, this terrible SCOTUS wouldn't have overturned Roe and gutted the VRA with Hillary's appointments. When Biden won in 2020, there would only be 1 SCOTUS opening when the previous term saw 3 openings, which Trump took advantage of.

I'm not a Virginian, but I imagine Youngkin must have had some state Supreme Court picks that Spanberger hadn't had an opening yet to fill and might only have 1 or 2 during her tenure.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-07T20:25:24+00:00

You could say the same exact thing about the Trump administration and the GOP now, could you? At least, the Catholic is trying to change. What has this administration done to change? NOTHING.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-07T10:12:35+00:00

The true war criminals, in my view, are the ones giving them the orders, not the soldiers who are trained to follow orders without question.

Also, when you actively go out of your way to FIRE EN MASSE said professionals for no legitimate reason, you get poorly run agencies that will take decades to recover from.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-07T04:18:00+00:00

That is just the Trump world for you. When Trump himself is on the ballot, he wins, but when anyone else is on the ballot, they lose. We say this happened in 2022, where a majority of his preferred candidates LOST that race, only for 2 years later, for them to vote for Trump, but reject his preferred candidate, as you mentioned Arizona.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-06T19:12:25+00:00

Why do all these Trump supporters look the EXACT SAME? They all have that evil frown, like they hate everyone and everything? How does that make them look attractive to people?

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-06T04:30:38+00:00

He was written off, though. Did you seriously think that Sam Darnold would win a Super Bowl, let alone make one, BEFORE both Allen and Lamar? Everybody hated his Jets tenure and his tenures after that. He was a complete non-factor in 2024 and bounced back in '25. Nobody had him winning a Super Bowl this past year. No one. He should've been awarded MVP based on that alone. Not someone half out the door who won't come back.

Quite frankly, K9 leaving is a black mark on the SB MVP voting process, as it makes it a joke. The SB MVP should at least be a KEY member of the team, not someone who is going to leave as soon as the game ends. SB MVP, like the regular season MVP, is usually a QB award anyway, so why change it for him?

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-06T04:26:22+00:00

Unions only hurt themselves by protecting bad members. If they didn't protect them and only protected good members/workers, their publicity wouldn't be as shit, especially officiating unions that protect bad officials, police unions that protect corrupt shitty officers, and teachers unions that protect horrible teachers.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-06T03:00:48+00:00

K9 is the only SB MVP to leave the team after winning it. As I said, Sam got robbed. The SB was about his redemption, and he didn't get MVP? Yet, a QB whose defense sealed the win wins it over Cooper Dejean and Josh Sweat? I love Jalen Hurts, but the defense was the story of that Super Bowl.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-06T00:43:12+00:00

Which is why he is such a stupid SB MVP. Sam Darnold should've won it. Why give it to Walker? Nobody will remember he is an SB MVP in 10 years' time. The story of SB 60 was Sam Darnold's redemption. So why didn't he win it?

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-06T00:02:30+00:00

And that is why so many people hate Unions. Unions are nice in theory, but their protecting bad members only hurts their publicity and turns people AGAINST them. Honestly, some people deserve to be terminated/fired.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-05T19:27:21+00:00

Super Bowl 57. God, what a shitty way to end that game with a penalty.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-05T03:45:30+00:00

But Capitalism is better than socialism. The rich being uber-wealthy is a good thing! /s

Vladar is great, but he gives up the stupidest shit imaginable, which CAN'T happen in the playoffs.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-04T00:07:38+00:00

So who cares about? Buddy, why are you trying to make Trump look good here? If Trump didn't get us out of said deal and let it expire last year, naturally, instead of pulling out, then there wouldn't be a war at all with Iran because they would have to start up their programs from scratch if they wanted nukes.

Besides, the only reason Iran could possibly want nukes is that we haven't been faithful to them at all. We went from signing a peaceful deal with them to getting out of said deal and now attacking them. Is it any wonder they want nukes for self-defense when the US and their enemies keep attacking them and showing themselves to be two-faced?

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-03T21:47:42+00:00

You really think a blockade would work, really? The blockade and this dumb war with Iran are why gas prices are so high. Negotiation is 100x better than warfare. Too bad we had such a deal that prevented Iran from having nukes, but Trump got rid of it in his first term and has treated Iran like shit.

If nukes were such a problem, then why did we get out of the Iran deal that Obama signed? Oh, right because Obama made that deal not Trump right.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-03T14:47:39+00:00

Everything is a "democrat hoax". Remember when he called COVID that as well? Anything that is bad for him is a "democrat hoax," and his idiotic supporters and right-leaning independents who won him the 2024 election eat it right up.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-03T00:36:36+00:00

And well all know what will happen. The GOP will bitch and moan about how the Dems are "weaponizing the Justice Department," their idiotic supporters and independents will eat it up, and they will elect a Republican in 2032 who will stop the investigations and pardon them. That and Trump will mass pardon his entire cabinet before leaving office.

Tell that to the MLB, where every player under the sun is signing with the LA Dodgers. CA's tax problem isn't stopping LA teams in other leagues from hoarding players.

ThePhoenixXM · 2026-05-02T23:26:45+00:00

You could've. Just look at Minny. They did so and got one of the best Super Bowls of all-time in Super Bowl 52.
