Here’s some hot news for Eleanor Holmes Norton. Everybody knows what is going on:
They also know why Norton wants statehood for the District of Columbia.
Unlike Puerto Rico where the people can have statehood, or independence, any time they want it, the District of Columbia is prohibited from statehood by the Constitution:
I know that the Constitution cannot standup against a dictator’s executive orders and a compliant High Court, still, it hangs on by the flimsiest of threads. Unconstitutional statehood for Parasite City would test the strength of the Constitution to the limit.
Legalities notwithstanding, statehood would give the parasite class full representation in Congress should the Democrat party scam succeed. Everybody who toils in D.C. is a pedigreed parasite. They feed on everybody else. They sow no crops; they sew no garments; they produce nothing of value; they live on tax dollars taken from Americans in the fifty states.
Making the District of Columbia a city-state would give the parasite class two seats in the Senate:
NOTE: In 2009 the statehood scam hit the news again. Do you think it had anything to do with a community organizer parasite moving into the White House a few weeks before George Will’s commentary?
Senators from D.C. would quickly join the other Democrats in pretending they are helping the poor, the children, the elderly, etc. As it stands now the rest of the parasite class have their own key to the public purse; while D.C. parasites must go to Congress with their hats in their hands whenever they want more; no small thing when conservatives are in charge. Pure and simple, statehood will give District of Columbia parasites their own set of keys to the public larder.
And I shudder when I think of the benefits International parasites at the UN will enjoy if the District of Columbia gains two Senate seats. And let’s not forget two reliable parasite votes in confirmation hearings.
Finally, Norton is backed up by a single digit IQ, Elijah Cummings, the Democrat party’s hatchet man in the House. That alone should tell you what they are after:

They also know why Norton wants statehood for the District of Columbia.
"You don't have a right to know everything in a separation-of-powers government, my friend. That is the difference between a parliamentary government and a separation-of-powers government," Norton said during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing.
It was, to put mildly, a significant departure from the more traditional liberal stance that openness and transparency are must to prevent abuses of power by government officials. Instead the leading advocate for statehood for the District of Columbia literally argued that even the congressional committee charged with oversight shouldn't be asking questions in the first place.
Unlike Puerto Rico where the people can have statehood, or independence, any time they want it, the District of Columbia is prohibited from statehood by the Constitution:
But the District is not a state. It is (as the Constitution says in Article I, Section 8) "the seat of the government of the United States." That is why, in 1978, the District's advocates sent to the states a constitutional amendment requiring that "for purposes of representation" the district would be "treated as though it were a state." Only 16 states ratified it, 22 short of the required number. So the District's advocates decided that an amendment is unnecessary -- a statute will suffice because the Constitution empowers Congress "to exercise exclusive legislation" over the District. They argue that this power can be used to, in effect, amend the Constitution by nullifying Article I, Section 2's requirement that House members come from "the several states." This argument, that Congress's legislative power trumps the Constitution, means that Congress could establish religion, abridge freedom of speech and of the press, and abolish the right of peaceful assembly in the District.
I know that the Constitution cannot standup against a dictator’s executive orders and a compliant High Court, still, it hangs on by the flimsiest of threads. Unconstitutional statehood for Parasite City would test the strength of the Constitution to the limit.

They feed on everybody else. They sow no crops; they sew no garments; they produce nothing of value; they live on tax dollars taken from Americans in the fifty states.
Making the District of Columbia a city-state would give the parasite class two seats in the Senate:
And, of course, Congress next could give the District two senators. Which probably is the main objective of the Democrats who are most of the supporters of this end run around the Constitution. In the 12 elections since the District acquired, by constitutional amendment, the right to allocate presidential electoral votes, it has never cast less than 74.8 percent of its popular vote for the Democratic presidential candidate. That amendment, the 23rd, stipulates that the District shall allocate the number of electoral votes to which it would be entitled "if it were a state." If.

George F. Will - Voting Rights and the 'State' of D.C.
NOTE: In 2009 the statehood scam hit the news again. Do you think it had anything to do with a community organizer parasite moving into the White House a few weeks before George Will’s commentary?
Senators from D.C. would quickly join the other Democrats in pretending they are helping the poor, the children, the elderly, etc. As it stands now the rest of the parasite class have their own key to the public purse; while D.C. parasites must go to Congress with their hats in their hands whenever they want more; no small thing when conservatives are in charge.

"I associate myself with your comments," Cummings added, thus making it clear that he doesn't believe the public has right to know what is going on inside the White House either.
