I know the knives are going to come out over this, but I thought this wasn’t possible legally; so this is all just window dressing?

They may need to pack the supreme court first.

Awww... aren’t you cute. Worrying about “legality” in regards to Democrats.

Normally, you would be correct. This change legally requires a Constitutional amendment, since DC was created specifically in the Constitution as a district rather than a state. Congress knows this because as recently as 1977 they tried to start the amendment process to do just this:

However, if they manage to pack the Supreme Court with compliant commies, then it won’t matter if the bill is unconstitutional, since the court will just wave it through.
