Besides this, giving illegals citizen hip, and letting many more into this country ,they are guaranteeing that we will never see another Republican POTUS in our life time unless we have civil war .
Trump scared the hell out of the deep state and they will do everything in their power to maintain their power, legal or other wise.

Unrelated to the constitution. Wrong. The Constitution requires the seat of the govt to be unattached to any single state. That is why they carved out the section from MD and VA as a district outside of state control. The seat of the govt cannot be its own state. Now, they can reduce the size of the district and allow the left over area to do something but the original agreement was if they did that the land in question would revert back to the original states. So people can find themselves residents of VA or MD rather than DC and that would not change the make up of the senate. Granted the above requires the DEMs to adhere to the original agreement and we all know they won't do that. Ding. Winner.

Corruption in its purest form, decocraps don't even try to hide their disdain for the country.

One more reason they want to pack the supreme court. That would guarantee that any constitutional challenges would be ignored.

Might as well use the constitution as toilet paper
Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....

Requires a 2/3 vote from all the states to change the Constitution, doesn't it?
More Dem fuquing virtue signaling to fire up their base. Adding a state does not require a 2/3 vote of the states. See artile4 section 3 of the Constitution. Not sure about how/if this would apply to D.C.

What is the capitol of Washington D.C.? Capitol Hill.

Those in favor have long denied it being a Constitutional issue. Easiest solution to the “unrepresented citizen” issue has long been available, just give the residential sections back to MD and add a Representative if the population count merits that. Since it’s really about giving the Dems two free Senators, they’ll try the cheap and dirty way. Can't see this getting past the filibuster, or the SCOTUS.
What fresh Hell is this?

The Dems want another blue state so badly that they will do anything to get it. The whole point of DC was that having the capital in a state would automatically make that state too powerful. Jefferson wanted the capital in the south and worked out a logrolling agreement with Hamilton. Jefferson got the capital in the south and Hamilton got his tax plans passed.

Isn't DC a sovereign foreign land (Vatican owned, or ruled)?
Nonetheless, they better hurry, because Gitmo has rooms impatiently waiting for most of these miscreants.
