JUST IN: Virginia Democrats are discussing a bold strategy to reverse the state Supreme Court’s recent ruling that struck down their favored congressional map.
The idea involves the Democrat-controlled legislature lowering the mandatory retirement age for justices from 73 to 54 (or lower). This would force all current justices off the court. The legislature could then appoint a new set of justices, who would presumably reinstate the map heavily favoring Democrats (around 10D-1R).
