It was the GOP packing the Senate, that time.
and Mega-Massachusetts Bantustan
Not going to argue one way or another but DC residents get some unique benefits as well current system including in state tuition and priority admission on many other states. The capital was set up by design to have a separate government system for neutrality etc. They also benefit from huge federal workforce and funding versus them having to support with taxes. I can see other side so this I believe needs an amendment process and likely will be a prolonged discussion one way or another. I personally see a stronger possible argument for PR at this point.
You are really stupid, but I guess that goes along with hating yourself for knowing how weak and afraid you are.
do you have calf tats too?
what a disingenuous pile of nonsense. Just because you try to pretend you’re nothing more than a rw parrot, and attempt to qualify everything to make it appear your canned talking points have additional merit, doesn’t deflect from the fact you’re nothing more than a thought for parrot
"needs an amendment process"
granting statehood requires only a simple majority, not a Cons utional amendment which would never pass (2/3 of each chamber, 3/4 of the states)
You are correct was going to update that as had heard wrong
Red team complaining about stacking the deck?
What goes around...
When did it come on you?
A law to make DC a state will be challenged in court, and ultimately will be overturned by the conservative-majority Supreme Court on the grounds that the original intent of the 23rd Amendment was to grant electors to all of DC, and not to a small rump federal district. Since it would a cons utional amendment to restore the original intent, it takes a cons utional amendment to make DC a state and the statute is uncons utional.
Kagan and Breyer issue a stern dissent. Sotomayor issues her own dissent, flirting with calling her colleagues racist.
Lol!!! This where we’re at in here nowadays eh?
Meh, Republicans killed a cool 200K Americans needlessly.
Even some whites.
To me, it's a pressing issue to never allow them to do that again.
YMMV
Poor derp and his bedside partner Mr. Hand.
Pretty much.
I ignore him for a reason. Little worth responding to.
Solid take.
Republicans would be so virulently opposed. Says volumes IMO.
nothing in the 23rd Amendment prohibits Wash DC from being granted statehood.
"rump"?

Wash DC has more residents than WY and VT, and almost as many an ND.
