Dems Weigh Radical Move to Remake Virginia Supreme Court

Dems Weigh Radical Move to Remake Virginia Supreme Court

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary May 11, 2026 Duration: 23:30
Radio and podcast host Craig Collins is in for Jim today. Join Craig and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on some of the alarming ideas Virginia Democrats are reportedly entertaining to try to save their gerrymandered map, Erika Kirk's commencement address at Hillsdale College, more asylum seekers giving up and planning to leave the U.S., and California Gov. Gavin Newsom's bad math and very expensive "free" diapers program.

First, they dig into a New York Times report that top Democrats discussed lowering the mandatory age of retirement for the Virginia Supreme Court so they could remove all seven justices and appoint others who would approve the congressional map with a likely 10-1 Democratic advantage.

Next, they applaud Erika Kirk's message to Hillsdale College graduates about why it's not only important to know about the American founding but to understand it and apply those principles to today's debates. They also discuss how she greatly outclasses the voices who are constantly denigrating her.

Then they welcome a CBS News report that many asylum seekers are now giving up and planning to leave the U.S. Greg explains how asylum is granted on very narrow criteria. Craig says this increase in self-deportation is very revealing.

Finally, California is is using nearly $20 million in taxpayer dollars to pay for diapers for as many as 100,000 newborns in the state. Gov. Newsom strongly disputes the price tag but Craig explains how Newsom has it all wrong and taxpayers are getting fleeced.

Each day can feel like a barrage of headlines, a chaotic mix of the serious and the absurd. That’s where 3 Martini Lunch-Political Humor & Commentary comes in. Hosts Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos have built a following by sorting through the noise with a specific, effective ritual. They serve up the day’s events in three distinct parts they call "martinis": one for the genuinely good news, another for the frustratingly bad, and a final one reserved for the utterly crazy stories that defy belief. What you’ll hear in this podcast is a conversation that feels like sitting with two well-informed friends who aren’t afraid to be sharp, witty, or blunt. They analyze politics and culture with a perspective that cuts through partisan talking points, aiming for clarity and, often, a much-needed laugh. The pace is brisk and designed for a commute or a lunch break, but the commentary is substantial. Tuning into this podcast means getting a digest of what matters, framed with humor and insight that makes the whirlwind of news actually digestible. It’s a daily check-in that manages to be both smart and consistently entertaining, providing a structured way to understand the world without losing your sanity in the process.
