If this happens the 51 stars on the flag should be red stars.

It’s unconstitutional.

Excuse my ignorance.

Since the District of Columbia is defined as the Federal preserve in the Constitution, wouldn’t changing that status from Federal seat of government to a State require an amendment to the Constitution?

Shut up racist!....is why.

But seriously, retrocession is EXACTLY how they split DC in half 170(ish)-years ago now. It’s the obvious answer to this ‘problem.’ Give it back to MD just like they gave the other half back to VA.

“ Washington, Douglas Commonwealth” in honor of abolitionist Frederick Douglass.”

Total unmitigated BS

Joe Manchin's first big test.

It's unconstitutional, so even this USSC should kill it.

Unconstitutional. The federal district was created precisely so as NOT to be under the jurisdiction of ANY state. This concept is easy to get. I got it in high school.

If passed, it will be unconstitutional and invalid.

The ‘power-brokers’ of DC don’t want a Maryland-connection. They want an entire state government which they’d run.

I would add this...having lived around the region. As corrupted as Montgomery and PG counties are in Maryland...once DC is a state, it’ll probably triple the amount of corruption that you’d typically see. Whoever ends up as Governor...won’t last more than four years before a corruption case takes them down.

If we get back into power, perhaps we should consider dividing Wyoming into twelve different states.

While that would provide the representation that they say they are seeking, it would not yield the additional 2 D senators that they so desparately want.

Wouldn’t the constitution have to be amended in order to make DC a state?

Along with the first fake president.
