The House of Representatives will not grow by 1, at least not any time soon. The bill to give DC 1 vote in the house has been pulled. Republicans wanted the ban on carrying a gun in DC repealed. The Democrats refused and the bill was pulled.
So that is what it has come down to? I guess taxation without representation is alive and well. And I suppose the concept of states rights doesn’t matter in this case since DC is not a state and it can’t vote to make itself a state because it has no voting rights in Congress. Stop! My head hurts. Guns are more important than the right to vote?
