Looks like it's Amateur Night in the United States Senate. Apparently a bunch of third graders who cannot read the English language voted in the Senate to give the District of Columbia a vote in the House of Representatives, in direct contravention of the United States Constitution.

furthermore, the House will also pass it and the small-p president will sign it.
No one needs no steenkin’ Constitution ... no one.
Since when did the Democrats honor the Constitution? To the Dems, in the words of their party’s leader, the Constitution is fundamentally flawed and thus is subject to whatever application the Dems want to place on it as a “living” document.
In 1978, Congress passed a proposed constitutional amendment to give DC congressional representation.
The amendment wasn’t ratified by enough states so it didn’t take effect.
In 1978, the Democrats at that time understood that it took a constitutional amendment to accomplish the goal of congressional representation for DC. Now, in 2009, Democrats think that a regular statute law is enough to accomplish this.
Nothing has changed in the legal status of DC as a federal district since 1978.
If this required a constitutional amendment in 1978, it still requires a constitutional amendment in 2009.
Nobody cares about the highest law of the land. The living Constitution has made it dead.
The small p president is a big U USURPER!!!! He and the continuing criminal enterprise called the DemocRAT Party care not one whit about the constitution!!!!
lol this anti american congress really doesn’t care who is watching. they just do what they want and to heck with the little people. lol!they dont have to please the little people anymore. little people=voters
white house??? Is that now considered racist?
If this passes it should be taken all the way to the Supreme Court...and PDQ!
Only 5 dumb a$$ RINOS voted for it.
Criminal, those who pretend there are minor infractions of the US Constitution are the reason we have porkulus, the Federal Reserve, IRS, etc. Duh for many who haven’t a clue...
The constitution may be flawed but its a whole lot better than what we have now...................
