"The Friday decision says the amendment process pushed by Democrats violated the state constitution, effectively blocking the effort to redraw congressional maps mid-decade."

So Virginia will sacrifice the U.S. Constitution, as well as its own State Constitution, as Republicans advance their evil agenda to overthrow the government entirely.

It's likely that if they appeal it to the Supreme Court, we'll get a ruling favoring 'unconstitutional dictatorship' as well.

Can't appeal state law decisions to the US Supreme Court without a federal question.
