Apparantly none of you guys realize DC is a “special case”. Read through the Constitution and get back to us regarding who has “exclusive legislative jurisdiction” over DC ~ and then ‘splain to me what the DC government’s job is.
I realize that Congress is the ultimate authority in the district. Does that preclude the city itself from devising any city measures such as the one we’re addressing?
For instance, a city in a state doesn’t have to check with the state capital to implement city ordinances.
Is that forbidden in D.C.?
