As night follows day, progressives’ response to the Virginia Supreme Court’s tossing of Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s outrageous gerrymander is to demand an instant court-packing move to undo it.

To lefties driving today’s Democratic Party, it’s not “democracy” unless it’s hard-wired to let them run roughshod — and when their power-grab schemes run afoul of the rule of law, their only answer is a fresh scheme.

Specifically, progs want to ram through a law instantly dropping the retirement age for the Virginia court to 54, which would allow the legislature to replace enough justices to restore the gerrymander.

Spanberger’s already caved to the left in pushing an outrage she’d promised to oppose; will she find the spine to say no now?

Wiser minds would call off the madness — but then again wiser minds would’ve avoided this mess in the first place.

As The California Post has noted, Democrats could’ve abandoned the redistricting wars after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Golden State gerrymander evened the tab for the Texas one — but instead (with Newsom leading the charge) they demanded Virginia Dems go big.

Spanberger, who’d campaigned against a post-victory gerrymander, complied — and other Republican states responded in kind, with Florida alone likely making up for what Dems stood to gain in Virginia.

With the Virginia map tossed, Republicans could wind up netting 14 House seats from the redistricting wars.

Mind you, that may not save the GOP majority: The “old” map still gives Dems an excellent chance to pick up two or three seats in Virginia — and even the Texas gerrymander that started the whole thing could blow up in Republicans’ face if Hispanics in the Lone Star State revert to their pre-2024 voting patterns.

On the other hand, the outrageous attempt to steal seats may well drive Virginia moderates into Republican hands come November: Dems burned $62 million to barely pass the referendum that allowed the gerrymander.

That’s cash they can’t spend on winnable races across the country, but rather than learn their lesson, progressives only want to further stomp on the rule of law by packing the Virginia court.

Nationwide, even moderate Dems are now talking about seizing their next available chance to pack the US Supreme Court, grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico simply to gain them four safe Senate seats and abolish the Senate filibuster — and so lock in progressive power forever.

Anyone paying attention should realize these lunatics need to be kept out of power until the party comes to its senses.
