get ready for Dem initiatives to make a few more states to cement their vote.

also, I wonder when Zer0 will call for increasing the numbers on SCOTUS so he can pack the court with libs?

They now have the Senate votes to do it, don’t they?

IIRC ... zero said 57 ... but then, I'm over 60 and I don't qualify for some-timer's medication.

Y'all just gonna' have to put up with me until I die.

56??

Obama said there are 57 states..

Democrats lie. It is well known fact that they lie, and this is proof positive. Idiot Waxman trying to cover for Obama.

Obama said “57 States” which was a “Freuder” as in OOPS as he was reflecting actually upon the 57 Islamic States.

Typical Democrat, typical Leftist rewrite of the facts. The Leftists will say anything, and actually believe their own lies.

They probably want them classified as states...that way, they can collect federal withholding taxes from them. What fools! LOL!!

For example, Puerto Ricans are US citizens, but they don’t pay federal taxes. Welcome to your change!

Obama said “57 states”, not 56.

Hey, there may be some truth buried in all this. Follow me here. My son started a collection of all the quarters issued honoring each of the states. Well, one would assume that would be 50 of them. Recently, I have seen a quarter with the district of columbia on the back and this week, I got a Puerto Rico quarter. Keep an eye out. The DC quarter has Duke Ellington standing next to a piano.

2) in section 791(9), by striking ‘‘The term ‘State’ includes the District of Columbia.’’ and inserting ‘‘The term ‘State’ includes the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.’’

(3) in section 793(c)— (A) in paragraph (2)(A), by striking ‘‘51 States’’ and inserting ‘‘56 States’’;

Odd, considering all the flags for sale at my local Walmart for the holiday weekend still have only fifty stars on the blue field. I guess maybe the process to admit a state has been abbreviated, eliminated since last November. [/sarc]
