Dang, let’s go. Hardball means hardball.
this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.
How Virginia Democrats can overturn the redistricting ruling: Retire the Supreme Court
The state Constitution gives lawmakers complete latitude to set the judicial retirement age. They should use it.

They're arresting Members of Congress.
Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.
Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

Constitutional hardball
Myself and other immigration attorneys have noticed that the government has paused most citizenship applications that have already been approved and are only waiting for a swearing-in-ceremony. Our guess is that they're intentionally delaying these until after the mid-term election.

Yes. This is what Dave Pozen called "hardball as anti-hardball." Dems should aggressively gerrymander, but with the explicit goal of getting into power and passing statutes banning partisan gerrymandering nationwide.
There are things that are bright red lines. To counter conservative and Trumpian suppression of free speech, you do not get into power and suppress theirs.
I think you can easily argue the ongoing gerrymander wars with no end in sight are different

"I will leave when I think it's appropriate to do so".
Follow up: "By staying aren't you denying Trump the majority on the Board?"
A: I'm staying on because of actions that have been taken; they've left me no choice.
He is the GOAT, plain and simple.

This is exactly the procedural hardball Dems need to constantly be doing.
Dems on the House Oversight Committee moved to subpoena Elon Musk today, catching Republicans off as few Repubs were present.
Hilariously, Nancy Mace then lost control of the hearing as they tried to scramble to get their members to actually show up:

This is the sort of hardball in the face of fascism Democrats should have been practicing for ten years now
New York lawmakers are considering a change to the state's special elections law that would keep Rep. Elise Stefanik's House seat open for months, a move backed by Hakeem Jeffries as a way to deny Republicans’ already bare-bones House majority of a crucial vote.

New York lawmakers may give Gov. Kathy Hochul more time to schedule special elections, a move backed by the House Democratic leader that could keep a key seat vacant for months.

Highly recommend the article "Hardball as Anti-Hardball" by David Pozen, on constitutional hardball as a means of deescalation nyujlpp.org/wp-content/u...
It is objectively bad for democracy that both blue and red states are doing extreme gerrymanders.
But the only feasible solution — a national ban on partisan gerrymandering — has only been endorsed by one party. And it's not the one complaining about Virginia right now.
