    The Crystal Ball, via House editor , moved VA-2 to TOSS UP well before this ruling. "Out and out fraud" judgment sure won't help GOP Rep. Scott Taylor in his reelection bid. Removal of African-American independent from ballot stops drain from D nominee Elaine Luria.

    Brett Kavanaugh essentially just admitted that he'd overturn Chevron deference if he gets on the court. This is the biggest reason why big business is so pumped about him and has spent millions to get him confirmed. It would dramatically undermine the administrative state.
