Joyce Vance on the Supreme Court's hypocritical order in the Virginia voter purge case

When it comes to the Supreme Court, it’s the hypocrisy that gets to me. This Court let Alabama’s legislature get away with an unconstitutionally gerrymandered congressional district for two additional years, invoking the Purcell principle that said it was too close to the election to make any changes that time around. But now, they’ll permit Virginia to remove voters within the time period where federal law strictly prohibits it, not just an amorphous doctrine they invoke when it suits them. And, the state could have been working on these checks for the last few years. Whatever this Virginia decision is, it is not grounded in precedent or principle.

into a partisan joke. If conservatives need something all they have to do is get it before their friends on the court and it is sure to be ruled in their favor. I sincerely hope this election does not have to depend on any nakedly partisan ruling they may make.

Giving the "floating garbage" and DC two Senators and a Representative each should be up thee as well.

11. Roberts only calls balls and strikes for parties who play baseball. Trump plays golf, so Roberts gives him a Gimme.
