Yes. I got corrected by a couple others.
Now my original assertion, that it would be completely 100% unconstitutional to grant DC statehood.
I’m on pretty firm ground there right?
Well, they were not to be under the jurisdiction of any state. If DC were a state itself, it would be under the jurisdiction of the new state.
(God knows what they would call it)
So it would appear, at first blush, to be unconstitutional.
But, then again, as it turns out, the Obamacare Mandate is a tax, so what do I know...
