DC is not actually a territory. It is the one and only federal district. As such, congress has complete control, by the constitution and the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801, which codifies that in federal law.

Sovereignty is essentially the power to make laws, even as Blackstone defined it. The term also carries implications of autonomy; to have sovereign power is to be beyond the power of others to interfere.

Beyond lawmaking power, two other (often contentious) aspects of sovereignty are eminent domain (the right of the sovereign to take private property for public use) and sovereign immunity(which offers the sovereign protection from lawsuits).

Well since the President signs a bill into Law, then the President has sovereign power, correct President Trump.

The fact that Congress is hiding potentially exculpatory evidence should weigh heavily on all Jan 6 prosecutions

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Can’t let that out. Would blow their narrative

What a surprise... /s

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

I’m fairly certain that’s not how the checks-and-balances system written into the Constitution works.

Simple. After the new Congress is sworn in its Speaker refiles an amendment/retraction to the sovereignty claim.

Sovereign immunity? Pelosi is now the sovereign? I thought we got rid of sovereigns in 1789. It doesn’t surprise me that elitist Democrats who want to rule over us consider themselves “sovereign”.

Shredding machines will be going full blast until the new Congress is sworn in. Better get a Temporary Restraining Order, and fast.

So they can prosecute and hide evidence of innocence?

That’s absurd.

Probably be upheld, given how corrupt the courts are.

But absurd.

The election of B. Hussein Obama was this nations biggest hoax

The Russia collusion accusation was the 2nd biggest

January 6th is the 3rd.

The left will try to ridiculously compare Jan.6th to Pearl harbor or 911. How about they compare it to the riots at Trumps inauguration which made Jan. 6th look like amateur hour? Completely brushed under the rug, no special televised committee ‘investigation’, no hyper-sensationalized TV reports about it, and this went on for FOUR YEARS!!! FOUR YEARS COMPARED TO FOUR HOURS!!!

Sounds like the South African guy in Leathal Weapon 2 claiming “Diplomatic Immunity” to which Danny Glover’s character replies “has just been revoked”. We should do the same to Congress. They are using semantics to stop the lawsuit. Obviously they are hiding a lot of what went on including coordinating with the FIB agencey and CIA putting folks like Ray Epps, Megaphone Commander and others inserted into the crowd to provoke them.
