and tear apart AOC right before your very eyes. Let's zoom out. Redistricting in Tennessee, North Carolina, Texas, Florida, Missouri, none of that challenged or overturned by the courts despite very clear and brazen constitutional violations such as in the state of Florida, right? But that, you know, they bought they bought their courts and so it's not going through. But what the difference is here Yes, please tell us the difference. Now oh AOC is going to educate you. Listen. The state of Virginia. And that all of the other states I just listed those maps were passed by their state legislature. And as she said, the difference in all the southern states and Virginia is all those other states were passed by the state legislature. This Virginia was an election But Virginia did it the right way. It was not done by the legislature. It was an election. >> million American I know, I've heard it a million I've heard it 3 million times. This court did not overturn a map. It overturned an election. No, it did not. It overturned a democracy. An election. A democracy. And when we talk about the balance of power and check in a system of checks and balances, it's one thing for a court to check a legislature or an executive, but the end all and be all of power in America should be the people. Wrong, wrong, wrong. This woman just showed you don't need a lick of sense to serve in the Congress. She believes in democracy. Listen. >> executive, but the end all and be all No, ma'am. Get your end-all Get your end-all and your be-all correct. power in America should be the people It should not be the people. God help us if the end-all be-all is the all. This woman is speaking what most Americans believe. Because they think we're a democracy. They cannot fathom how a court overruled the will of we. Now, before you found Professor Toto's class, you would probably say amen to what she's saying because it doesn't seem right that the elite can override the masses. But thank God they can. Okay? So, let me help you today. I want you to understand what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just told you. She just said that when the elected legislature of a sovereign state draws a congressional map, a right given to it by guess what? The Constitution. The Constitution tells you that the that the timing of election, the the wherewithal of elections are determined by the state legislator, not the court. And she started off saying the reason Texas stood and Florida stood because they would let the legislature do it. Can you believe that? But by difference in Virginia, here's what our people do. She's calling the Supreme Court the elite. I want to help her today. Pull up a chair, Alexandria, you and the old professor, the fluffy professor, the neighborhood friendly professor, is going to talk Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1. Just read it with me, Alexandria. Article 1, yes, Section 4, Clause 1. There you go. Of the United States Constitution. You know where that's at. Okay, good. I'll read it for you, and you read with me, Alexandria. The times, the places, and the manner of hold I'm reading real slow for you. Of holding elections for senators and representatives shall be controlled or prescribed in each state by Now, get your highlighter. You ready? Highlight this. By the legislature thereof. The legislature thereof. That's the Constitution. But listen to how she explains. >> Well, let's zoom out. Redistricting in Tennessee, North Carolina, Texas, Florida, Missouri, none of that challenged or overturned by the courts. None of that was challenged or overturned by the courts, and she don't understand why. >> constitutional violation. Okay, very clear and brazen constitutional violations. Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1 is the Constitution. And it says, I repeat again, by the legislature such as in the state of Florida, right? But that, you know, they bought they've bought their courts. They bought their courts. >> So it's not going through. But what the difference is Now you listen to the difference. >> Here, in the state of Virginia, that all these other states I just listed, those maps were passed by their state legislature. Okay, thank you. I thought that's what you said, because I'm reading I'm reading the Constitution and indeed it says that the maps how the voting works is left up to the legislature thereof, not voters, not an independent commission, not a federal judge, not a secretary of state, but the legislature thereof, the very ones that you just said the difference in those states they went by the Constitution. Because the legislature is directly accountable. It's the only thing in a state directly accountable to the voters. If the voters don't like the map, you don't go to court to change it. You vote out that legislature and get a legislature that will give you the map you want. That is the republic. That is the design. In the state of Virginia, Democrats spent Listen to this number. 100 million dollars on a referendum designed to give themselves 10 more congressional seats. So what? 10 million dollars a seat. They paid for that referendum through uh uh through one party drawing their own maps through a ballot measure instead of the legislature. And Alexandria Cortez calls that democracy. She's right. Sh- Democracy met the Republic in Virginia. Because the Virginia Supreme Court called it something else. They called it fraud. Unconstitutional. Void. Null. Without legal efficacy. The Supreme Court called it a sham. The elites that chose for the voters were not the Republican legislatures following Article 1, Section 4. But in Alexandria, the elites were the Democrat operatives who spent a hundred million dollars to confuse Virginia voters into approving the most extreme gerrymandering in state history. Class is dismissed on that subject.

Summary

In this political and constitutional commentary, Professor Toto responds to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks about redistricting and a Virginia court decision. He argues that Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 gives state legislatures authority over the “times, places, and manner” of congressional elections and uses that provision to defend his view of legislative control over districting. The transcript contains no explicit Scripture citation, direct biblical quotation, or unmistakably identifiable biblical narrative. Therefore, no Scripture references have been indexed.
