It's probably unconstitutional
Granting the District of Columbia a vote in the House this way is probably unconstitutional. But so is going to war without Congress declaring war and that doesn't seem to stop the GOP.
Pass the damned law, let the people see who will fight it and then we can fight for statehood. Once it passed the House it's time to pressure the Senate. EVERY SENATOR IN FAVOR OF THIS BILL OUGHT TO STAND IN THE CHAMBER WITH PURPLE INK ON THEIR FINGERS. I've said that since we won the election. Give these bastards a taste of their own medicine.
I've always thought Eleanor Holmes Norton, DC's non-voting delegate to the House, would pretty much attend the opening of an envelope if asked...Until today, she has been pretty much useless. It's good to see her stand her ground... Good work Eleanor.
