"The Court concludes that the School Boards will likely succeed on the merits of their claim that EO2 is contrary to the clear language of SB 1303."

"The single issue before the Court is whether the Governor, via his emergency powers, can override the decision of the school boards delegated to them under SB 1303. On this pivotal point, the Court concludes that the Governor cannot."

1. Good news so far. I am dreading Youngkin pulling a DeSatan on us.

Virginia has generally been a bit better than average during the past couple of years, but now under GOP control - scary times are ahead.

2. Fantastic!

There was an article in WAPO yesterday indicating that the judge was not impressed by the schools arguments and that Youngkin could well win this case. Thank God the judge came to her senses and shut down that wannabe autocrat.
