Trump Watch 👀1-1 The Supreme Court of Virginia isn’t elected — it’s chosen by the General Assembly. ⚖️
Justices serve 12-year terms.
Key upcoming seats:
• ⚖️ D. Arthur Kelsey — term ends 2027
• ⚖️ Stephen R. McCullough — term ends 2028
Current reality:
• The court is currently 4–3 conservative
1-2 Two conservative seats are coming into play as terms expire.
That means the current 4–3 balance on the Virginia Supreme Court isn’t locked in — it’s vulnerable to change through upcoming legislative appointments in Richmond.
With a Democratic majority and Speaker Don Scott,
1-3, those vacancies could reshape the court one seat at a time.
This is how institutional power actually shifts. ⏳

1-4 Virginia’s Chief Justice isn’t MAGA — he’s an old-school institutional conservative. He’s not going to die on a Trump/MAGA hill over elections or clash with the General Assembly. With reappointments coming next year, institutional stability matters more than ideology.
I’m not the lawyer but my good friend great attorney for social justice. @[email protected] will agree with me on My assessment.
