EXCERPT FROM THE ARTICLE:
Why This Matters
If courts let politicians act like elected officials before they are sworn in, Virginia would no longer have clear lines of authority.
And this is not a one-off accident — it matches Jones’ pattern of behavior and controversies already surrounding his candidacy.
Who Is Jay Jones? A Growing Record of Alarming Behavior
Long before this filing, Jones was already under heavy scrutiny:
Our attorneys have filed a response with the Court in reference to Jay Jones trying to usurp power from Attorney General Miyares.
I have just learned that Attorney General Miyares has filed a response as well. Miyares told the Court they should ignore the Jones motion as Jones is not the Attorney General.
I don’t see how the Court could accept the Jones motion, but we will know soon enough.

A VCDL member sent me this:
As a retired veteran Master Sergeant, I also strongly share retired CW3 (Ret) Dennis J. O'Connor’s concerns about this VFW Post in Florida and there could be many others across the USA. I suggest to Dennis and to the VCDL membership to contact the VFW National Commander and maybe he/she can insert some pressure. The information site / link is below. Additionally, Dennis’s letter should be shared with others such as NRA, GOA, 2d Amendment Foundation, etc. [PVC: His letter was shared with Florida gun-organizations.]
The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. - VFW
Anything they want, as England has just reminded us. In this case a British subject posted a photo of him legally shooting a regular shotgun on a trip to the U.S. In turn, the British crown put him through hell when he returned. Tyranny requires the populace to be helpless.
From a memo to family and staff: effective immediately, all Spotsylvania County non-instructional buildings, including Administrative Services and the School Board Office is a self-defense-free killing zone.
Security theater includes an AI-based weapons detection system.
Sounds suspiciously like the School Board is planning to do things that the public is not going to like.
