At some point, people will just acknowledge the Constitution as a quaint old document that doesn’t really mean anything. The Left can do what it wants.

And the Right will nod and go back to sleep, except for a handful of trouble makers who will mostly be ignored, be ineffectual, and silently go away.
1) Senate arrives at a tied vote to approve statehood;
2) Harris casts a tie-breaker vote as VP;
3) Statehood is approved by Congress
4) Immediately file quo warranto challenging the law on basis of contradiction of Constitution violation, Constitution reference to DC
and authority of Harris to cast vote as un-qualified VP because she is not a Natural Born Citizen. text of resolution 511
If the residential portions of D.C. no longer wish to be part of the Capitol, then their land should be returned to Maryland, not formed into the 51st state.
😆
We do not live under the constitution. That should be patently obvious to anyone in America now.
We live under an authoritarian oligarchy that does as it pleases.
When they can use constitutional verbiage to “prove” to us that we must obey, they do so. When the verbiage stands in their way, they get a court ruling that allows them to so as they please.
Anyone remember Obamacare? The Constitution says all spending bills MUST originate in the House.
The Constitution was amended to prohibit involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime. Woodrow Wilson started a draft. He reasoning was that since Congress declared war, they whole nation had “volunteered”. Ergo, “selective service” was merely choosing people from a giant body of volunteers!
What does the constitution say about declaring war?
What does the constitution say about direct taxes?
What does the constitution say about gun laws?
What does the constitution say about how the value of a dollar is set?
Does the constitution give the Federal government the right to regulate a creek on your property or the crop you grow and sell locally?
We are so far beyond the constitution that this person’s argument is trite and meaningless.
Does the constitution allow the Federal government to order me to stay home, close my business, wear a facemask?
We need to face it. We are living in a modern version of the USSR or Nazi Germany. The government rules by decree and has done so for years now.
The technocratic oligarchy rules by fiat and nothing else.
They rarely even pretend to do otherwise.
The Democrap response:
File that quo warranto case and Roberts, closet homo Roberts, party boy Kavenaugh and Amy Conehead Barrett would swat that case down as fast as they did the Texas case.
Why then is the most important Federal Agency (DOD) headquartered in sovereign Virginia?
Simple solution - retrocede residential area to Maryland. Maryland will never elect a Republican senator anyhow and, yes, one more sure D seat in the House - meh
That will shut ‘em up
Forgot the old buzzard of a speaker of the house.
Correct and "infringed" means the federal government has no power to regulate any firearm of any type on any level whatsoever. The federal government has no authority to require background checks, firearms licenses for dealers or licenses of any type. The federal government has no authority to require any form to be filled out for any type of firearm.
The people have the god given right to own machine guns, short barrel shotguns, suppressors, armor piercing ammunition and grenade launchers.
Yet we have allowed the federal government to ban or regulate nearly every aspect of this god given right.
This article is utterly delusional. The Constitution has failed to protect us from the intrusion, oppression and tyranny of government. The Constitution has many "safeguards" built in that were supposed to protect us from a corrupt government rigging our elections. ALL OF THOSE SAFEGUARDS FAILED.
The left loves to talk about "rethinking" this or that. Maybe it's time for Americans to start doing a little rethinking.
The Constitution? That old thing?
When the Founders wrote the Constitution, they were operating under the false assumption (or hope),that the country would always be governed by honest men.
Ink on a parchment means nothing without enforcement.
“Conservatives” lose because they refuse to acknowledge the way the game is played.
A rather pointless opinion, and it's getting warm enough now that if the quo warranto fails, it's time to pick up arms and visit Congress again. And there may be some results of recent attempts to audit election ballots that might sway SCOTUS if the fraud-filled elections are exposed for public consumption. And that adds incentive to the people picking up arms to visit Congress.
“The Founders thought it obvious the nation’s capital should be subject to federal, rather than state, jurisdiction.”
This is not hard to understand! The federal district was to be out of the jurisdiction of any state! It is FEDERAL! Not hard to understand. I remember that from my high school days! 100% clear to me.
If I were a real estate tycoon (**ahem**), I’d promote the simple remedy to the “no taxation without representation” argument by exempting DC residents from Federal taxes.
All those row houses in NE? All that crime ridden SE? Would turn into 12-story condos mighty fast.
The reason you have guns is to protect your god given, constitutional rights. You may at some point actually have to use your weapon to protect those rights.
You left ‘cuckolds’ off yer list...
I did. Thanks. I also left off peacocks. The menagerie is growing.
