  What are you afraid of Vern? Two more Democratic Senators? There will be a provision in the bill to declare the area that contains most Federal buildings as the domain of the US Government. That satisfies the Constitutional question. Be honest - for once - Vern.

  I agree with you on this but do you not think the Senate is broken in that 30% of the population controls half the votes in the Senate?

  Then it is time for a constitutional amendment. Founders did not get everything right. There were those whole slavery and women cannot vote things.

  Glad that you're totally on top of this DC statehood thing but how about paying some attention to the fact that Trump is trying to prevent 23 million Americans from obtaining health care in the midst of a pandemic. These are people, not pets.

  You make it sound like Amendments to the Constitution should not be pursued. How about one for Congressional Term Limits?
