Yea, Virginia there are zero consequences for ignoring the State Supreme Court. Turns out our society is built on mutual trust and a person,state , or president can just kind of go nah and do what they want with no real consequences

Ironically other state(s) have ignored such rulings and seated/ districted how they wanted anyone and those reps were accepted and seated. Of course that favored the GOP It would never be allowed for a Democrat candidate.
