It is a shame that Justice Kennedy chickened out of tackling gerrymandering, on top of his authoring Citizens United. Fix those two structural defects, and democracy would work much better.
Longtime acquaintance Rob Tracinski, a writer who's a strongly anti-Trump libertarian, is running in the 6th District (now including the Charlottesville area) as a Democrat because the incumbent Republican won't stand up to Trump, Johnson, et al. He's a smart guy and has embraced the Democrats as the only option to promote democratic reforms and restore checks and balances. He's a long shot, but I wish him well.
It’s about time Dems are fighting back and winning. What is amazing is the SHOCK that Republicans feel(really?) that things don’t just go one way. I like that VA has put a time limit on the change. I’ve been here a while and we were 🤌close to a non partisan agreement on this issue, only to have it pulled back. I really hope that the Democrats take back control of the NC Legislature and our courts with good candidates who have the state’s best interest at heart and that the crap stops. I just want to enjoy this beautiful state and to get some good nights’ sleep.
It makes me happy too!

Amen to all you have said-- thank you!

I was hoping this made you happy. Me too.
