At this time DC has sort of a congressperson actually a delegate with limited voting privileges and happens to be a democrat currently serving since 1991. So this move would give them a real congresscritter and two senators with no doubt that all will be democrats. Good strategy, if you can't win the majority in the senate just change the rules. Jim.
This has to be the most absurd campaign ever, and should tell you the polls aren't right if they're this terrified.
I hope you're right. I'm really starting to fear for the future of my children.
It's going to eventually end in a war, one way or the other, unless the system is changed so that smaller regions are more autonomous and free of being ruled over by people who are radically different politically.
Absolutely inevitable at this point.
If you think things will go back to normal, you're being wishful. They may calm down for a period of time, but this has been ratcheting up every day for decades now.
That's exactly what I'm afraid of. My pre-teen son has taken an interest in the Civil War since school has been out in March (read a dozen or more books on it in the last few months). Even at his age he can see the makings of war.
As far as I'm aware, DC is constitutionally bound NOT to be a state for reasons of bias...

Isn’t statehood required to obtain 2/3rds of both the House and Senate before it goes to the President for approval? If the House got more than 2/3 yes votes, who were the RINOs agreeing to that?
And then they whine and ***** when their rule changes bite them in ass--like "biden's rule" about presidents not being allowed to appoint SCOTUS justices in an election yearIf they can’t win by playing by the rules they just change the rules. It’s their MO
