The most powerful argument for DC statehood isn't about DC at all. It's to save the Senate. It's right now theoretically possible for a bill passed by senators representing 290 million to be thwarted by senators representing 37 million people. 1/2
The lopsidedness of the Senate looks likely to grow much worse between now and 2040, by which time less than one-third of the US population will control 70 seats in the Senate. This cannot endure, and won't. Timely reforms can avert future radical disruptions. 2/2
No taxation without representation? Maybe make Puerto Rico a state as well. While we're at it, combine the Dakotas into one state. Not sure if MoscowMitch will want to go along with that.
Meh. Abolish the Senate and call it a day. (I know that won’t happen, but I can dream.)
Mr. Frum, isn't that the point? The cities always get bigger and bigger with more immigrants and job-seekers. If those cities represent everything, imagine the flurry of laws passed. Conservatives are meant to simply preserve status quo for stability and slowing law proposals.
Except that is not at all what conservatives do in this country.
