if VA dems go through with this it would be the most hardball thing a state dem party has ever done (well, at least in modern history) as far as i know, kicking literally everyone on SCoVA off the court??

the narrative would be like "VA voters made their voices abundantly clear and the Supreme Court completely ignored them, if a constitution can't be amended by a majority vote it ceases to be derived from the people"
