Puff, puff... legislation not passed. That means Virginia will remain the only state in the country that has legalized adul…

SCOTUS Crushes Virginia Democrats’ Congressional Map Push In Stunning One-Sentence Order
Virginia Democrats’ bid to salvage congressional maps they hoped could reshape the House battlefield ahead of the midterms came crashing down on Friday in a brutally short order from the US Supreme Court. “The application for stay presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied.” That was the entire ruling.
