It may effect elections in that particular state.
I don’t think there are many similar situations across the country.

That was the whole POINT of having Washington is the first place!

The folks who live for and work for the government should NOT have ANY say in how the government works or spends tax dollars!

It’s not prejudice, racism, or anything other than common sense!

““Residents of the District of Columbia are the only adult American citizens subject to federal income taxes who lack voting representation in Congress” the plaintiffs told the Supreme Court in a brief.”

There are about 78 Million Trump voters that also don’t feel they have a vote that counts.

the court lacked jurisdiction over the dispute...

Exactly correct!

Washington DC is technically it's own state, in a fashion similar to the city of London and the Vatican. In fact, the three "city states" are part and parcel of the military, financial and spiritual sectors of the Deep State Cabal.

There are two other city-state-like locations that I think are hard to define - Disneyland and Disneyworld. BOTH are the only entities within the US, besides DC, that have permanent FAA TFR's above them.

Now shut down the DC city government!
It's unconstitutional anyway.
The US Constitution give the US government
exclusive control of the city of Washington DC.

Two of the court’s more conservatives justices — Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch — indicated they would have dismissed the appeal based on their view that the court lacked jurisdiction over the dispute.

While I agree with the ruling overall, how does this bit make any sense? DC is governed by Congress, it fully falls under FedGov, so in what way is SCOTUS not over their jurisdiction? They aren't a State - they only go through the Fed courts. The only way this makes sense is if the appeal skipped the district/circuit courts or something?

They don’t have to live in DC:

6 Suburban Cities With Easy Commutes to Washington D.C ...

Many neighborhoods within Washington, D.C. city limits offer access to Metro trains or buses. However, the often higher price tag on homes and the noisiness of city life has many potential homeowners looking toward the suburbs. In the D.C. metro area, that doesn’t mean you’re destined for a long commute.

This is only partially true.

The DC delegate can vote in committee, where bills go to live or die. They cannot vote for the final legislation.

Make no doubt that if Eleanor Holmes Norton at a decrepit "pooped-em!" 84 was instead some wokeazz 20-something like Bug-eyed Sandy, SCOTUS would have bent to the will of the MSM.

It shouldn’t have been a hard decision for anyone who has read the Constitution.
