the constution says so.

The Constitution says no to DC statehood - The Boston Globe

It’s not an oversight that the nation’s capital isn’t a state: the Founding Fathers designed it that way.

I will state (pun) again nobody has enough money to move Washington someplace else for 51st state. It belongs equally to all of the United States no vote if you watch a boat move to a state Puerto Rico could be a state

Washington D.C. cannot be state.

The Constitution limits the area of the District of Columbia to 100 square miles and prohibits the seat of government from growing outside those bounds. As such, the independent City of Alexandria as well as not only the City but the entire County of Arlington, as well as the Pentagon, which is federal and not property, properly pertain to the District of Columbia, rather than the Commonwealth of Virginia, since Virginia was a Confederate State at the time of the Civil War.

Neither the unconstitutional "retrocession" land grab nor the out-of-control growth of the federal government and military industrial complex beyond the original boundaries of the District of Columbia can be respected.

If the District of Columbia were a state, it could as well be all of Virginia, including Quantico and Langley AFB and the whole federal government administered from a Confederate state exactly as the Democratic Party wishes with the new Critical Race Theory being pushed and promoted in public schools by the Democrat teachers unions.

The Territory of Puerto Rico cannot be admitted as a state either until it is rid of Communism and the improper influence of the Castro family and other Mexican and Central/South American drug carteles. Otherwise that would be tantamount to admitting another slave state and threatening a second Civil War in the United States by such violent drug-dealing insurrection and rebellion.

Well said, 3/4 of the states hasn't been done since

Just sort of throwing the talking points book at it.

"No taxation without representation"

Move the **** three miles to Maryland or Virginia.
The DC statehood push has been nothing but a dishonest, creepy attempt to get more automatic democrat votes in Congress.
DC was established as it is before anyone living there was born. They knew the circumstance going in.
Democrats are pathologically dishonest.

Except for those born in the District you want them to completely uproot themselves from their communities and leave or pay taxes without representation. The area that makes up Washington D.C. needs people to live there in order to function otherwise you're going to create an economic dead zone.

Who the citizens of this new state vote for is irrelevant in deciding statehood.

"No taxation without representation"

It's the liberal Battle Cry does not apply...

If you want a vote in Congress move... anyone more than 250 years old will be Grandfathered, so to speak.

It's too late to move the capitol building to New Jersey

No, it actually doesn't. They can live 3 miles away and commute to their job at Starbucks. People have to suffer all sorts of disadvantages because of decisions their ancestors made. Why should not having representation be any different?

Sure, why didn't George Washington just shut his pie hole and move to England. Nobody forced his 'ancestors' to come here.

How would that have undone any of the injustices committed by George III?

And right after that island comes Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Block Island, Naushon, St. Lawrence Island, Fisher's Island, Plum Island (germ warfare lab there - so you want to discriminate against Germs voting?), Catalina and about 500 more. Oh, I left out Diomede (Little Diomede - Big Diomede is Russian but the people there might vote to become an American state if given the chance by The U.N.)

Obama is the prisoner Martha's Vineyard there may be some issues with his DNA...

Wboopsie daisy...

Marlboro reds i tbink.
But they're working on a reconstructive DNA pattern maybe that'll turn out better for him I hope it's not this guy

Probably just a long-lost uncle or something

Doesn't even really look like Obama

 

[washamericom]

But the opinion is true. The constitution prohibits our capitol from being in a state.

The capitol doesn't have to be in the new state. The boundaries for that state can be drawn to exclude the capitol.

Problem solved.

Technically I suppose the White House could be its own country I'm taking the Supreme Court home to Vermont

 

[washamericom]

Residents of those states can be represented by Senators and Congressmen. Residents of DC cannot

DC residents pay more Federal Taxes than 22 other states.
Taxation without representation

Technically they are Representatives with a non-voting lower house mumber just like Vermont

 

[washamericom]

opinion piece

No, Opinion peace

 

[washamericom]

Or just give the parts of DC with people living in them back to Virginia and Maryland.

I think we're missing the point here I'm talking about the 2/3 and 3/4 ratification
