Joe Manchin Has Read The Constitution

[rightwinger]

McConnell's only concern is how it affects his party, not how it affects the people of D.C. At least Joe makes an argument that avoids that incredibly selfish, self serving argument.

It would affect most of the people in Washington negatively.

They seem to disagree with you so.........................

Washington DC gets most of its jobs and most of its
income from being the nation's capital, and the Constitution is designed to keep the region non-partisan.

Moving the capital elsewhere would really damage the area.

Which does not have to happen.

The legislation maintains a smaller District strictly for Government functions.....just like the founders envisioned

Then return the land not included in the smaller District to the states from which the land was originally taken. There is no need for a new state.

And if MD agrees they don’t want it?

It's also irrelevant. If that was the solution some wanted they should have proposed it when they had a majority. They did not so those who do have one have submitted their solution.

What does that have to do with DC statehood?

 

[rightwinger]

"taxation without representation" the marxist fucks bleet...

annex the residents back into MD and VA.... let them pay state taxes, and be fully represented....

yeah, that's what I thought....

DC pays the most Federal Taxes per capita and more Federal Taxes than 22 states.

Either give them representation or exempt them from taxes

 

[busybee01]

So much for DC statehood.

WASHINGTON – Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., told a West Virginia radio station Friday he opposes a just-passed House bill to grant the District of Columbia statehood, dealing a blow against Democratic efforts to make the nation's capital the 51st state.

Citing conclusions reached by past administrations, Manchin said the proper way to decide D.C's future is through an amendment to the Constitution and not simply by passing a law that would be challenged in the Supreme Court.

Joe Manchin says he opposes DC statehood bill, dealing blow to efforts to make nation's capital the 51st state

Joe Manchin is either a idiot or a liar. If that is true then we have only 13 states. Aside from the original 13 states, not one state was added through a constitutional amendment. West Virginia was added through a law. passed by Congress and signed by Lincoln.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Citing conclusions reached by past administrations, Manchin said the proper way to decide D.C's future is through an amendment to the Constitution and not simply by passing a law that would be challenged in the Supreme Court.

1. The District of Columbia is the 64,000-acre district which is the seat of the government of the United States under the Constitution.
2. The District of Columbia cannot cede its land back to Virginia or Maryland without a constitutional amendment.
3. The District of Columbia is not a state and cannot become a state in its own right without a constitutional amendment.

The Congress shall have the power ... To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; ...

The District of Columbia cannot be a state in its own right under the U.S. Constititon because no laws except those passed by the U.S. Congress alone have any jurisdiction or authority over the district of the seat of the government of the United States.

To tell us otherwise in any official capacity is to commit TREASON by levying War against the United States, adhering to our Enemies, and giving them Aid and Comfort.

The reason for that is inflated salaries for government bureaucrats. Reduce the pay of these desk jockeys, and you won't have that problem.

Or do as President Trump started doing and moving agencies out of DC and into America. BLM was relocated to Colorado, example given.

Manchin stated that if passed (it's not going to pass with or without Joe) that it would be appealed through the courts. It would. So he is saying the best solution would be an amendment which would simply be the law.

Now you can disagree that's the best way but it is not a lie. It's his opinion.

They aren't thinking it through, because they see the tremendous political gain of getting 2 more leftists in the senate and 3 more electoral votes.

Pass an Amendment then. We don't add states by reconciliation.

 

[Nostra]

The Constitution provides for a federal district, anyway. If not in its present location, then states will just have to cede real estate elsewhere.

I said in an earlier thread on this: Make DC a state and give them 2 Senators, then make Kalifornia the Capital and take away their 2 Senators and all House Representatives.

Works for me.

 

[Nostra]

Its amazing that DC has been the Capitol for 250 years or whatever...and it took Nancy Pelosi to realize everyone has been wrong for that time.

If DC was Red, would Dem be pushing this?

Of course, cuz.............ya know...................they are thinking of the people, not power.

No Democrat is trustworthy, but I believe Manchin's stated positions on this and court-packing are rather locked-in with his constituents. He has been adamant enough against them that to reverse himself would put him in the clown suit brigade along with the rest of them. He has deftly avoided that so far.

The District of Columbia cannot cede its land back to Virginia or Maryland without a constitutional amendment.

So how do you explain the fact that all of DC across the Potomac was already removed without a Constitutional Amendment?

That was the Confederate victory of the Civil War, final coup d'état by the Democratic Party, consummated 165 years later by a stolen election.
