Republicans are revving up for a D.C. smackdown

[Anonymous]

Even if Trump wins, I don’t see both sides of Congress being majority Republican.

We are a large and complicated city and congressional representatives are already tied down with addressing the needs of their own constituents that they are supposed to represent.

There is no possible way that congress has the time to actually get into the nitty gritty detail of governing our city.... other than to enact some 'pet' issues for show and media sound bytes.

It is really a simple three step process:

1. Arrest those who commit crimes.
2. Have actual trials for those arrested.
3. Have those convicted of crimes spend time in jail. Extra 15 years if a weapon is used in commission of the crime.

Even those dim witted representatives from the South and the flyover states can figure it out.

You think running red lights in a dense urban environment is okay?

No, did I say that? Do you actually think red light cameras stop cars from running red lights? On my daily commute that passes through many DC neighborhoods with many cameras the answer is no.

So people just pay a fine daily? We have speed cameras on my street. They have dramatically slowed us all down.

Of course they don’t pay the fine.

Yes - they stop me from doing that.

lol then why haven’t they figured it out yet? there are many reforms that could improve criminal justice in DC - confirming judges in a timely manner is a big one. there’s nothing stopping Mr Jr Rep from Flyover State from drafting a bill to improve criminal justice in DC.

But we all know what this really is: just another node in the culture wars. Instead of judges, blather about right-on-red being an American entitlement.

+1 the fact they aren't working to confirm judges and fill vacancies RIGHT NOW is evidence they don't actually give a sh*t.

Have you seen some of the gems Biden has sent up for confirmation? These folks aren’t there to convict criminals.

So you would run through a red light if the camera wasn’t there? Anyway you are one person. I see people blow through red lights every day on my commute. I see people drive the wrong way on one way streets, drive mopeds, atvs, etc. on public park space where kids play, I see people speed all the time. The lights don’t seem to prevent these things from happening.

I wouldn’t run through a red light but would run through a yellow light. Not after I got a ticket once because of a red light camera.

Judicial nominations have to be a political compromise. If not it becomes a stalemate and no judges will ever get confirmed. This may be less disruptive for federal judges but it’s extremely disruptive for DC.

+1 and is a reason DC needs self government rather than being dependent on the whims of congress regardless of who has the majority

We already are held hostage between political parties and it would only get worse to put more bureaucracy in the hands of people who have no interest motivation nor time to govern our city.

I assume they would prevent non citizens from voting in local elections. And you sound like an idiot.

The PP didn't specify federal elections and yes non-citizens are allowed to vote in local elections in DC.

Who is the idiot now?
