DC isn’t a state. Really just a collection of reparations seekers and stoners.
Here’s what we need to get past. Anytime a state or even a dysfunctional entity like DC takes power from feds that almost always a good thing. Because our primary goal should be to reduce the federal power not explicitly enumerated in the constitution.
It’s easier to do something about a bad state law. But bad fed laws are like herpes, they last a lifetime.
