Virginia Court Strikes Down Democrat Gerrymander Referendum as UNCONSTITUTIONAL

This ruling means the ridiculous constitutional amendment, which would have allowed the Democrat-controlled General Assembly to immediately toss Virginia’s current balanced six-five congressional map and replace it with a heavily gerrymandered 10 Democrat to one Republican map, cannot be certified or take effect unless the Virginia Supreme Court overturns the decision on appeal.

And likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court depending on the outcome, I would imagine.
I think this may be why there wasn’t a bigger public fight from the RNC. The M.O. of this federal administration has been to force court action to decide issues like this. It serves two purposes:
1). Prolong the fights in critical times like these (pre- mid terms ‘26)
2). Gets some of these issues that use constitutionally questionable concepts to the highest courts to set precedent for the future.
A lot of politicians and political organizations have been using grey areas to sow division or stack the deck in their favor.
Making the courts rule one way or the other at least levels the playing field in terms of what is/isn’t allowed.

What? Please tell me I'm reading this correctly? And does this signal there is still some sense of legality and fairness left in the courts in Virginia.
The more I read what this ridiculous referendum would do the more I shook my head in disbelief as I whispered - surely someone is going to step in and stop this aburdity.
Let the democrats appeal....then send the thing up the line to SCOTUS. Let John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett muddy their hands in this.
