Columbus is now an Unperson. The Romans did the same thing in a process called "Damnatio memoriae".

This would require an amendment to the Constitution. Not going to happen.

DC has often been called “The most over-represented area in the country.” We don’t need to further it’s influence.

This comes up every 20 years or so, especially when the Democrats fear losing.

Agree - The Capital is dominant enough over The Districts.

The democrats are also renaming the Constitution to, The Guidelines of Old Slave Owners Which We Ignore.

Douglas is a name mostly associated with white males. I have never met a colored person named Doug.

Resist pandering democrats at it again....

Concur. But it does point out that Democrat pandering apparently is bottomless. I think it also points out that the Dems are scared shirtless of losing a significant fraction of the black vote.

The mob is in charge of the House. Pandering is the currency of the realm. Return most of DC to Maryland and leave a small district to be administered by the federal government.

The Dems want two more senators. Next Puerto Rican statehood.

Senate Republicans should sponsor a bill to return all but the Federal Mall area, all the inhabited parts of DC back to Maryland.

Sexist Democrats!

They should name it “Tubman-Parks”. Harriet Tubman (”... the most famous “conductor” on the Underground Railroad.”) and Rosa Parks (of “back of the bus” fame).

Plus, with all of Washington DC’s green spaces, “Parks” should get “Brownie Points” from the “Greenies”!

That would be the fairest solution and one that has precedent with the Va half having been returned in 1847
