SocraticGadfly: No, No, NO on DC as 51st state

No, No, NO on DC as 51st state

Technically, the bill in Congress now would “just” give the District of Columbia voting representation in Congress, but that’s what that means. John McCain was right in voting against it in committee, because it’s not a state.

And, Congress knows it can NEVER do that.

This bill is unconstitutional and richly deserves the legal challenge that conservative groups will give it.

As for DC voting?

The answer for that is, and always has been, prescribed in the Constitution:

Retrocession to Maryland.
