According to the Washington Post, Congress is poised this week to pass legislation giving the District of Columbia a voting Representative in Congress.

Kinda' funny that the DC Council urges Congress create a Constitutional right to Congressional representation out of thin air while thumbing its nose at the Supreme Court's Heller decision regarding the enumerated Constitutional right to bear arms by enacting onerous registration requirements and new bans on scary looking rifles and pistols not approved for sale in California.

It's time Congress put its foot down and preempt the DC City Council on gun control. In almost every state, . . .

If your BLOG (not News/Activism) has a beef with FR that requires you to only post an excerpt, why bother posting from a blog that isn’t FR FRiendly??

If your BLOG is worthy, we’ll read it. But you need to give us something to work with....Post the entire missive, under Bloggers and we’ll give it a look.

Unless, like all of the other new-found blogs and their pimps, you’re just fishing for hits on your site.......

Just sayin’....

What are the implications of DC becoming a state in light of the Heller decision? Can Heller's attorneys ask for a clarification of the ruling based on DC's new status? Since only the author of the decision writes the clarification, we could end up with "incorporation" fairly quickly and easily...

Thoughts?
