So lets get into it. Virginia currently has a Prison Population of 49,000 and every last one ineligible to vote. Before the 2020's Democratic Administration of Ralph Northam along with a Virginia General Assembly Democratic Majority changed the then existing Law, all Virginia Prisoners were counted as members of the Political Jurisdictions the Prisons that held them were located at which in most cases were predominantly rural and largely ethnically White at the expense and political loss of the largely urban Cities of their removal, which in most cases were diverse with a ethnically Black and politically viable population, while denying and depriving them of whatever benefits, privileges and protections those political districts accorded its residents. In other words rural counties with prisons enjoyed the benefits the prisoner population brought them, just as the Constitution of the United States came into existence on the corrupting complicit compromises that electorally reduced the enslaved Human to a 3/5ths person. Virginia Democrats under Ralph Northam rousing a beastly ire of Virginia Republicans who had historically benefited from the transfer of urban prisoners to rural Virginia prisons, changed the law to allow for the imprisoned Virginian to be counted for all electoral and political purposes as members of the urban locales that had lost them, which in turn became a relative disincentive metric for Republican apparatchik insider influence on the Virginia Department of Corrections to continue assisting and enabling Virginia Republican politics by providing their districts with the proverbial 3/5ths electoral person. The point is as long as the dynamic of, and I quote from the words of D. Arthur Kelsey writer of the majority Opinion in the Scott v McDougle ruling and he quotes from 3 JOSEPH STORY, COMMENTARIES ON THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES sec.1609 (1833) "A Constitution by its very nature "declare[s] under what circumstances, and in what manner it shall be amended," and it is "The supreme Law of the land, TO WHICH ALL PERSONS, RULERS, AS WELL AS CITIZENS MUST BOW IN OBEDIENCE "[my emphasis], Feudalism under its neon formulations, exist. Now I want to draw the readers attention to what I emphasized.(1) A jurist D. Arthur Kelsey on the Virginia Supreme Court in 2026 didn't have any issue with the characterization of America's Social Contract terms, of "rulers"?, and found affinity with it to quote it as authority and insight, which even in 1833 when those words were breathed into existence, were treacherous, discordant, dichotomous, cognitively dissonant, insidious and diametrically at odds with what the most basic element picking up arms in 1770's colonial America against "Ruler "understood that for there to be a ruler, as Mr. Kelsey evokes, there has to be not the deceptive, sleight of hand, "citizen", (Mr. Story attempts to divert attention from his real labor which has already been revealed, with the descriptive "ruler"), but "subject" and its ridiculous to think that, the Antonin Scalia's, Clarence Thomases, Samuel Alito's, John Roberts, Donald Trump's, the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Societies of that day, along with Friedrich Hayek pining for monarchial and the dictatorship of the aristocracy were delusional despite being puffed up with its "grandeur" to think that all those Minute Men were dying a la Crispus Attucks to suffer.

What Jurist Kelsey, reveals writing for the majority in the SCOTT v. McDOUGLE 2026 Va. LEXIS 35 redistricting case, disqualifying the People's Speech, (which by the way and its quite telling, the Chief Justice of Virginia's Supreme Court, POWELL, not only dissented but, he felt so strongly about it that he wrote the Dissent) is what we have all along understood, which is when the formulations of Social Contracts of our Human Condition are still in primitive formations, which the Commonwealth of Virginias' and our Nations' are facts. The intrinsic animator is the corruption of its character, which is that dynamic or consequence of the Dictatorship of Intent. What I mean by, dictatorship of intent, is simple and in it lies as the corrupt character, because it is the crass imposition of "the idea", minus or at the expense of its basic nature. So, the basic nature of our Human Condition is Existence, with the means or mechanism it's Re-creation, which its work is the human business of existence. So it goes to say that the quality of the human business of existence as construct of a Social Contract, is that which recognizes that the "idea", is guide or intent and not objective, which again is Existence, as such the infinite expressions of obfuscations, which is where we encounter the reactionary, are consequently a corruption requiring or in Social Contract terms, Reform and as focus of this work, Virginia's imprisonment scheme and holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable. In this context the sophistry evidenced by the Virginia Supreme Court majority ruling in the SCOTT voter speech disqualification and exposed by Chief Justice POWELL'S dissent is again fact of the primitive formation and corrupt character of Virginia's Social Contract, presenting that, the necessary development and I won't preemptively describe the absence of reformation as incident of corruption, because corruption has to firstly be perceived, then resolved with its reform. However the dictatorship of intent, has inkling that the phenomena appearing as contradictions and antagonisms are facts of the existence of corruption, because the terms of the Social Contract are relatively at odds and stand in compromise with its constituted aspirations. So we see this clearly with all that the Commonwealth declares as basis of the Justice Infrastructure and imprisonment scheme haplessly transformed into petty extra-judicial above-the-lawism by the Virginia prison official, borne on the exact logic of Kelsey and co.in their SCOTT ruling. What all of this means in the context of perfecting the UNITY OF THE PEOPLE as that qualification of the social contract focus of the human business of existence, is the presence then of what we indict as violations, presenting the mechanisms of response or resolution as the birthed relative vocabulary and language to describe and expose the inconsistencies. Which then means the onus and responsibility of reform shifts from the status quo malfeasant, violator and offender onto us the People being exploited by the accompanying systemic injustice, to counter-speak in all its organic activity on the simple foundational basis that human existence isn't, suppositionary, it isn't borne of ideas nor theology, but material facts of x=y and not opportunities to be exploited by reactionary politicians pursuing the presumptions of primitive political-economy formulations, along with the fact the status quo actor and beneficiary of the corruption will struggle and desperately battle against reform.
