Former Virginia AG Miyares mocks Dems for filing appeal to wrong court
Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- Virginia Democrats mistakenly filed their redistricting appeal to the Supreme Court of Virginia instead of the U.S. Supreme Court, drawing criticism and mockery from Republicans.
- Former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares highlighted previous errors by Democrats, including misspelling "Virginia" and "Senator" in legal documents related to the redistricting case.
- The Virginia Supreme Court recently struck down new congressional maps designed to favor Democrats, ruling that Governor Abigail Spanberger improperly fast-tracked a constitutional amendment without meeting legislative session requirements.
- The court emphasized that constitutional amendments must be approved in two separate legislative sessions separated by an election, a condition not met in this case, leading to the amendment's invalidation.
- Virginia Democrats are now appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that the state court overstepped its judicial authority in blocking their redistricting efforts.
