And who is going to challenge this blatant violation? Just like his eligibility to even by president? Is that what is going to happen here??
OK Repubs — here is your chance.
In 1978, a constitutional amendment was approved by Congress and sent to the states, which would have given DC congressional representation. At that time, the Democrats realized that they needed a constitutional amendment to accomplish this goal.
That amendment was not ratified by anywhere near the 38 states needed. But now in 2009, Democrats are saying that only a regular statute law is needed to give DC representation.
If this goal needed an amendment then, doesn’t it still need an amendment now????
Nothing in the legal status of DC as a federal district has changed between 1978 and 2009.
