Virginia democrats want to pass law forcing ALL the state supreme court justices to retire!!

Text Drivers are Killers

Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
Then they'll give the positions to democrats!!!!!!!!! If the repubs tried something like this the press would be screaming FASCISM AND AUTHORITARIANISM!! But they look the other way when dems do it.

The Court-Packing Scheme Hakeem Jeffries Discussed Behind Closed Doors​

Step one: invoke a January circuit court ruling to argue the 2020 amendment creating Virginia's bipartisan redistricting commission was itself invalid – handing map-drawing power directly to the Democrat-controlled legislature.

Step two: have Democrats in the General Assembly lower the mandatory retirement age for Virginia Supreme Court justices from 73 to 54 – the age of Justice Stephen McCullough, the youngest member of the majority. Every current justice gets forced out. Democrats fill all seven seats with hand-picked replacements.

Step three: new court, new map, four new House seats.
 
Then they'll give the positions to democrats!!!!!!!!! If the repubs tried something like this the press would be screaming FASCISM AND AUTHORITARIANISM!! But they look the other way when dems do it.


❄️ 1. What actually happened (sourced facts)​

A. The Virginia Supreme Court struck down Democrats’ redistricting amendment​

  • The court ruled 4–3 that Democrats violated constitutional procedure by placing the amendment on the ballot after early voting had already begun.

B. After losing the case, Democrats privately discussed a radical response​

Multiple outlets (MSN, Reason, NYT reporting referenced in these articles) confirm:
  • Democrats discussed lowering the judicial retirement age from 75 to 54.
  • Every current justice is older than 54 → this would force the entire court into retirement.
  • The Democratic-controlled legislature could then appoint new justices.

C. This idea originated from a progressive newsletter (“The Downballot”)​

  • A column proposed the tactic.
  • Lawmakers then discussed it privately.

D. The governor has NOT endorsed the plan​

  • Gov. Abigail Spanberger has not been briefed and has taken no position.

E. Some Democrats oppose the idea​

  • Former Rep. Jim Moran called it “a bridge too far.”

F. Republicans strongly denounced it​

  • GOP figures called it “court-packing,” “authoritarian,” and “egregious overreach.”

❄️ 2. What is not true​

❌ “Democrats are passing a law to force all justices to retire.”​

  • No law has been introduced.
  • No vote has been scheduled.
  • No public legislative action has occurred. This remains a private discussion, not a legislative process.

❌ “This is an official plan.”​

  • It is described as a proposal, idea, gambit, or scheme — not a formal plan.

❌ “Jeffries is leading a court-purge operation.”​

  • Jeffries participated in a call where the idea was discussed.
  • There is no evidence he is directing a coordinated operation.

❄️ 3. Bias check​

The forum post claims:​

  • Democrats are “forcing ALL justices to retire.”
  • Democrats will “give the positions to Democrats.”
  • If Republicans did this, the press would call it fascism.
  • This is a “scheme” to steal four House seats.

Bias assessment:​

  • The anger and accusatory framing (“FASCISM,” “authoritarianism,” “scheme”) are editorial, not factual.
  • The core factual element — Democrats discussed lowering the retirement age — is true.
  • The certainty (“they’re doing it”) is false; it is only a discussion.
  • The prediction about media reaction is opinion, not evidence.
  • The claim that this is unprecedented is commentary, not a legal fact.

❄️ 4. What is actually true vs. exaggerated​

ClaimStatusEvidence
Democrats discussed lowering retirement age to 54True
This would force all current justices outTrueAll justices >54
Democrats are passing a lawFalseNo bill, no vote
Jeffries is leading a purgeUnprovenOnly discussed on call
Governor supports itFalseShe hasn’t been briefed
This is “court-packing”OpinionGOP framing
This is “authoritarian”OpinionConservative commentary
 
Spanberger has not been briefed?????????????? HAHAHAHA. She knows all about it, you liar. She is a super-radical leftwing loon.
Spanberger knows all about it is the kind of claim people make when they’ve run out of facts and need volume to replace evidence. The reporting is explicit, lawmakers discussed it privately, the governor wasn’t briefed, and no bill exists. Your entire argument is built on vibes and wishful paranoia, you’re accusing her of masterminding a plan that hasn’t even reached the written down on paper stage. You don’t have proof, you don’t have sources, you don’t even have a timeline. All you’ve got is a scream and a shrug dressed up as certainty.
 
Then they'll give the positions to democrats!!!!!!!!! If the repubs tried something like this the press would be screaming FASCISM AND AUTHORITARIANISM!! But they look the other way when dems do it.
