| 0:00.0 | Well, ladies and gentlemen, Democrats are very, very mad at the ruling of the Virginia Supreme |
| 0:05.6 | Court where they decided in a four-three decision that the whole gerrymander process they went |
| 0:10.8 | through was actually a violation of the Constitution. |
| 0:13.3 | Which shouldn't have come as a huge surprise because the lower court in Virginia had already |
| 0:16.8 | decided that. |
| 0:17.6 | And as we had the entire debate on this thing, we had argued that it was unconstitutional. And surprisingly enough, we had said it was unconstitutional for the very reasons the court ended up deciding it was unconstitutional. But none of that matters. Democrats are furious. So Democrats all got together and said, look, we don't like this decision. We think it's wrong. We think it's horrible. We hate Donald Trump. But we're going to go ahead |
| 0:37.7 | and follow the process. We're going to go ahead and make sure that it is done correctly this time and in |
| 0:43.0 | strict keeping with the Constitution. Oh, wait, no, that's not what they did at all. No one said |
| 0:47.3 | what they're deciding to do is this. They are going to reverse the Supreme Court of Virginia |
| 0:53.2 | by lowering the retirement age to 54, retire all of the justices, and then just replace them with liberal justices that will rule the way they want. |
| 1:02.9 | To save democracy, apparently. |
| 1:05.0 | Apparently, that's the way that you save democracy these days. |
| 1:08.1 | Now, here's what needs to be understood, okay? |
| 1:10.6 | The fourth three decision |
| 1:11.7 | that was written by Arthur Kelsey, Justice Kelsey, Kelsey, basically found that, again, the entire |
| 1:18.2 | process for the gerrymander or the entire process for the constitutional amendment violated the |
| 1:23.0 | Constitution of Virginia. Now, we pointed out a couple of things. One of the things that he |
| 1:26.6 | pointed out was, is that in order to amend the Constitution of Virginia, the legislature has to pass language |
| 1:32.2 | through the House and the Senate for the constitutional amendment. Then you have to have an |
| 1:35.7 | intervening election. And then after that intervening election, they have to pass the exact same |
| 1:40.1 | language in the form of a joint resolution. Now, okay, well, there was an intervening election, Nick, so what's the problem? |
| 1:48.0 | Well, the problem is that Democrats now allow for 45 days of early voting in Virginia. |
