This would require an amendment to the Constitution. Not going to happen.
DC has often been called “The most over-represented area in the country.” We don’t need to further it’s influence.
The democrats are also renaming the Constitution to, The Guidelines of Old Slave Owners Which We Ignore.
Concur. But it does point out that Democrat pandering apparently is bottomless. I think it also points out that the Dems are scared shirtless of losing a significant fraction of the black vote.
The D.C. area is already more trouble than it’s worth. Why add to that? If any changes were to be made, perhaps our nation’s capital should be relocated to a central location so as to make it accessible to more people. The D.C. area could revert back to being part of Virginia or whatever. I believe the geographical center of the lower 48 is someplace in Kansas. Crazy idea? No crazier than suggesting it be made a state when that was never intended by our founders.
Well, I happen to agree - but I believe the Congress as presently constituted would pass DC statehood, according to my interpretation of Article IV it does not require a Presidential signature (although this is traditional), and I also believe that the Supreme Court as presently constituted would allow it.
What then?
