the house has passed the resolution to make Washington DC the 51st state. if this passes, would be pretty historic.

 

[Toshi]

Doesn't it need 60 votes in the Senate? Seems rather unlikely, let's say.

Ironically, I heard a governor of one of the Dakotas (North?) was railing against this idea.

Fucking moran...

yea, i just read that.

Pretty much guarantees nobody in DC who votes both ways ever votes (R) ever again.

DC NOT being made a state seems unconstitutional ... taxation without representation, and all of that noise

Puerto Rico would also like a few words.

U.S. Virgin Islands as well?

make 'em all states if they are more populous than RI or ND or whatever the low bar is.

 

[Adventurous]

And they should all be states as well. You pay taxes, you get representation.

Wyoming is the low bar. 582,000 and change.

Maintain over-representation by making sure others have no representation.

Seems on-brand for a certain political party...

I say, if the GOP wants to keep it at 50, what ever state has the smallest population gets demoted to "territory" status. Let's swap DC for wyoming!

Seriously, though - the fact that the Dakotas are two states is ridiculous. Wyoming should be a part of Colorado, and Montana should be combined with Idaho.
