No. No. No. And EFFING NO.
Democrats need to be wiped from the face of the Earth on November 9th.
You can’t make a state from one city!!!
Think this is bad now? Imagine if these liberal freaks get control of the senate. God forbid they get the presidency as well.
Can we give them San Francisco and Seattle, too?
They are sleazing their way into two more seats in the senate this way.
Serious envy at the DEMs being able to control the narrative with little to no pushback. Watch out if the DEMs control the House and Senate after this year’s elections. MASSIVE voter fraud and intimidation is also a concern for the presidential election.
I swear, they are just trying to push through every damned thing on their stinking Leftist wish list. This is two more Far Leftist Democrat Senators and some number of putrid deranged House members.
Folks, they are going to the mat, calling all chits and favors in, pulling out all the stops in this time of crisis.
Damn them all, EVERY DAMNED ONE OF THEM TO HELL.
Not only no, but hell, NO!!!
These communists need to be dealt with in a big way.
It’s a cinch to pass Pelosi’s House.
That doesn’t mean its Constitutional.
But don’t the States have a say here?
aren’t there more important things to be focusing on right now? *EYEROLL*
The seem to have tried this every time they have had the Majority in the House over the last 30 years or so.
It’s the District of Colombia precisely so that the Executive, legislative and judicial branches will NOT be subject to the jurisdiction of any state! How stupid can anyone be to not know that?
DC statehood would be unconstitutional.
Go ahead. Then move the capitol to Kansas City.
But surely they wouldn’t name it after a notorious slave-owner like Washington. What’s the new name going to be?
Completely Un-Constitutional
There are actually legitimate legal issues with even trying to make the current district a state.
The biggest two issues. First, that Maryland and Virginia ceded territory explicitly for the use of the district, so there is question as to whether that land could be given to another state, rather than simply returned to the states that gave it up.
Second, the 23rd amendment gave the “district” 3 electors. That was considered a reasonable compromise when there were 500,000 people. But under statehood, there will still be a small “federal district”, which may have a few people at most. Those people will still get 3 electoral votes.
The congress can’t make a law to fix that, because it was an amendment, they have to fix the actual amendment, which requires 3/4ths of the states.
DOA
