The assumption had been that "Cuccinelli would wait his turn and run in 2017," University of Virginia political analyst Larry Sabato says.

"The justices aren't unaware that attitudes on this issue are changing rapidly," said G. Edward White, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law and a scholar of Supreme Court history. "They have to think about that: do they want to be associated with a position that's going to be overruled?

It’s possible to be impressed with performances, but less than impressed with what’s being performed. Maybe you just have to be in the mood for it, but “God’s Ear” an unusual, absurdist-influenced play by young playwright Jenny Schwartz, which opened Thursday in UVa’s Helms Theater, is too much of a sometimes good thing.
