This is typical liberalism. Take something that is failing badly and rotting from within due to their policies, gerrymander it to suit their needs, then change the name and appearance of it.

Like the Drive-By-Media, they then wipe their hands, smile broadly and move on to the next thing to destroy, and gain two senators in perpetuity.

There was a specific reason Washington DC was not given representation, but they are too stupid and ignorant to understand.

Liberals are ideological locusts.

"...granting statehood looks to be directly in violation of stated Constitutional language..."

As if that makes any difference anymore.

Bunk. Move them back to Maryland where they belong. No way DC needs two Senators. As far as moving the capitol, move it to the hardest to reach point in Kansas
************************************************
Agreed , let Maryland absorb D.C ,, they’re just as liberal ... I think Oklahoma night be a better place for the new capitol...

B.S. idea. If D.C. ever stops being the Capital, it should revert to being part of Maryland. It most certainly does not merit 2 senators. Additionally, once the whorish industry of free money roles out of town, so too will 90% of the population.

Perhaps it should be stipulated that the people who work in D.C. must live in D.C.

Louisville? I don’t want those SOBs here. Move them to Moscow or China where they fit in better.

Could you believe a Gov. Marion Barry?

It would happen. Those clowns don't need representation, they need supervision.

I’m in Louisville and I don’t want them either. The Jefferson County School board is reason enough for property owners to flee Jefferson County. Moving Washington over here would be a death sentence.

True. But, in case you have not noticed: Dear Leader don’t need no steenkin’ Constitution.

Give DC to Maryland — from whence it came. As posters have already indicated, we don’t want two permanent permanent ultra-liberal, Communist-loving, America-hating Leftists.

If you move the capital, there would be no reason for DC to exist, let alone merit statehood.

Louisville is a lovely city with very nice people. Why destroy it?

I suggest that Detroit be the next DC. After all, it woul benefit greatly from being given “something” to do and our government could use all those guns they have ordered to stay safe.

Make idiocy a felony and turn DC into a penal colony and loony bin. Put a large electrified fence around the district and let the inmates pretend to govern while we elect a real Congress and President that actually uphold the Constitution.

Louisville is nice, but we need a capital closer to the center of the nation, far away from lobbyists and east and left coast liberals and odious for the national media. How about western Nebraska?

Divide Washington, DC into two cities, one in Virginia and one in Maryland. Don’t start screwing around with the Congress!

Yep. And not just him. There is an entire political party in this country that wants to rewrite it. They know they don’t have the votes to change it legally, so they are either ignoring it or using executive orders to go around it.

Shame on us for not holding them accountable. When behavior stops having consequences, there is no limitation on behavior.

I think somebody has way too much time on his hands, to sit around and think of crapola like this. Too many people on the payroll who don’t have anything better or more productive to do.
