The Virginia Supreme Court is being asked to reverse a lower court judge who rejected a request to put back the monuments removed from city property last summer.
“While the Democratic side chose a long time ago, a primary process and the candidates know the path that they need, the Republican side has no path right now. It changes from day to day, depending on who has a little more influence on the State Central Committee of the Republican Party than the other,” said David Ramadan, an adjunct professor at George Mason University’s Schar School and a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates.
Mr. Ramadan said neither side has enough votes to secure the necessary two-thirds supermajority to amend the rules and allow for an “unassembled convention,” where votes for each round could be cast on a drive-by basis.
