Yes, you withdrew the recall petition but did so because you knew the Court would dismiss it just as EVERY court all the way to the VA Supreme Court did in your equally frivolous litigation challenging the name change. The Williams decision, rendered NINE months before you withdrew your absurd petition said that recalls have to be base on facts and those collecting and signing such recalls have to state under penalty of perjury that they understand those facts to be true. What a radical idea, fact based arguments, not sour grapes and innuendo. What's next for you guys? Maybe you can go after gay marriage? Mixed race marriage? Whatever it takes to take us back to the 1950s, right? And now you think the elected officials in the General Assembly are going to amend the law making it easier to recall elected officials? You've segued from revisionism to sophistry and now to being delusional.

Either the filing of the petition last month was a publicity stunt, or the petitioners (and their legal counsel) aren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the shed. Oh well, at least JUSTICE is being served by the dismissal and withdrawal of these frivolous proceedings.

T...The Court did NOT dismiss the removal petition. The headline is incorrect as is the assumption that the Court dismissed the removal petition. There was not a Court hearing on the removal of Sandra Sue Evans. Petitioners became aware of a March 1, 2018 Virginia Supreme Court decision on an earlier case that changed the substance of the Virginia Code for Removal of Elected Officials. Rather than have the petition quashed, the Petitioners filed a non-suit (withdrew the petition) prior to any material being presented to the court by Evans. Again, there was NO hearing on the issue. By filing a non-suit the Petitioners could file for removal again should the legislature address and clarify the code.
