Who is going to stop the Dems from making DC a state?
The Constitution? It doesn’t matter any more.
SCOTUS? Who ever brought suit against it happening would be ruled to have ‘no standing.’
Congress? If only simple majorities are required in the House and Senate, then Dems have the majority in the House, and while currently tied in the Senate, there would easily be turncoat RINOs who would go along.
A national referendum? With Dominion machines counting the mail-in ballots, the outcome is obvious.
SAME ANSWERS apply to whether to abolish the Electoral Collage and pack SCOTUS.
The District of Columbia does not even make a decent COUNTY, let alone a “state”. Pare the actual district down to the stretch along Pennsylvania Avenue, to take in the Capitol, the Supreme Court building and the White House complex, then deed the remaining area back to Maryland, designating it District county, and subject to the Maryland legislature.
But of course that is much too logical a step for the rabid “reformers” now with hands on the levers of power.
