There’s a saying – “what goes around comes around” and it was just a matter of days and weeks that Youngin cleaned house in some state agencies and appointed replacements without consultation with the GA.
That’s a dumb strategy in Virginia if the other side wins the GA.
So, maybe Youngkin’s “plan” was to flip the GA and keep his appointments.
CLEARLY, he has had little intention of trying to work with the GA, at least from a public perspective. It looks for all the world like a big “_issing” contest and I don’t mean with a K but about five letters later.
He has gutted the Dept of Education and apparently wants to weaken the SOLs. He uses the SOLs and NAEP to attack education in Va, gets elected… and does away with the very metrics he used to win election on! Not a bad cheap trick!

Never too early!

Well, you WOULD bring that up. Barf! Hopefully this will end like uber gas passing in a windstorm.
Maybe the GOP can use him for one of their tokens?-
Mr. Larry. Send me your size. I want to get you a Levar Stoney Onesie. Thought about you yesterday. RMA played St Michael Archangle in hoops. They were so good.

St. Louis Prosecutor Would Like To Free Marcellus Williams Instead Of Executing Him, *Just Because He’s Innocent*

Sounds good. Let him go. Meanwhile Biden’s Gestapo is going to put 11 pro-life activists in prison for 11 years for singing hymns and praying.

Problem is the Governor is for going forward.

Off topic. The admiral and the fractional troll haven’t been around for awhile, hope they’re ok.

Troll was here 3 hours ago. Make sure you didn’t accidentally block him.
Didn’t see a “Big O” on the Captain, but at 79 maybe he’s napping? -
“Make sure you didn’t accidentally block him.”
Opposite is true. After warning them that I would block them if the personal attacks did not cease, they returned with another attack so here we are.

my experience also… and apparently free to do it …without sanctions.

Aw, it takes the fun out of it. But then, sometimes necessary. I’ll let him know. However, if he was worried enough to ask, at least he misses you.

I’ve never blocked anyone.

He blocked you. Alas. (Read below)

Not good maybe a court can do something.
Back to the subject at hand: Will you please explain why you think Patricia West is not qualified to lead the parole board?
-
Nope. I think that lies with the GA people. I think she tends to be more of a GOP operative than not and tne prior GA did not like her attitude towards whether she should be independent on the SCC or do what the GA wanted. How about you? You think she is qualified ? Why?
-
She certainly appears to be qualified:
– former Juvenile and Domestic Court Judge
– retired Virginia Beach Circuit Court Judge
– Former State Director of Juvenile Justice
– former Secretary of Public Safety-
yep. but need whole context of her background and experience, right?
I suspect the “rest of the story”, that’s what led to loss of support in the GA.

We have a flawed system, but that’s different from a broken system. Funny how when spouting and shouting on forums that a jury sworn to evaluate a case only on the evidence in court can come to unanimity even in apparently divisive cases. I trust a civilian board can do the same. Both, however, require voir dire.

Spare me the wailing. Obviously, Trish West is qualified to serve as head of the Parole Board. However, Senate Democrats are not rejecting her because she is “tough on crime.” They had no problem confirming Chadwick Dotson, another retired judge that Youngkin nominated in 2022. https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?221+sum+SJ83&221+sum+SJ83 (Youngkin recently named Dotson to be director of the Department of Corrections.)
It must be something about West that Senate Democrats don’t like. They previously refused to confirm her appointment to the SCC, as well.

maybe this, interesting reading:

Maybe, but they had their revenge a year or so later when West came up for re-election and they refused to do so.
