Which half of Oklahoma gets all the oil?

And we’re supposed to trust this fool-in-a-robe Gorsuck with a 2nd Amendment case?

I wish they would make Chicago/Cook County into a separate state. It would be very enjoyable watching it completely destroy itself.

“...but rather, more importantly, it should mean the States vs. the Federal government....”

True of course and this was known 160 years ago...that’s what the Civil War was all about.

Litchfield Hills with the Naugatuck Valley area of Connecticut would split from Hartford/New Haven area. The Quiet Corner would merge with Fisher Island and Block Island, too.

“Democrats are closer than ever to achieving statehood for Washington, DC. “

I don’t know how DC can become a state without amending the Constitution. The idea of the seat of the Federal Government being in a Federal District is in the body of the Constitution, but then there is the 23rd Amendment that awards three Presidential Electors to the District.

These problems can’t be just wished or voted away by the dems in the House.

During the course of my six and a half decades of adult life the Court has made a good number of really stupid decisions, but the Oklahoma decision has to rank near or at the very top of that list. It’s simply mind boggling that anyone with a modicum of common sense could be so damned ignorant.

The scotus unconstitutionally democratized state senates in the early 1960s.

THAT is why most states are a mess.
