[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is unlikely that a new Statehood would happen anytime soon. Unless the Democrats get a filibuster-proof majority in Congress for DC and Puerto Rico and even then, the Right-Wing Supreme Court could still strike it down. In terms of which party would benefit from this depends, if it's just NOVA then the Dems would benefit in a solidly blue state with the rest of Virginia still being competitive. But if Republicans get to manage a DC statehood that includes NOVA AND Central Maryland than it could possibly benefit them in making the rest of Maryland competitive if Baltimore loses influence.[/quote]

Just out of curiosity, did you call the pre-Trump Supreme Court "left-wing"? [/quote]

DP. "Right-wing Supreme Court" to describe the current Supreme Court is not an opinion, it's just an objective statement of fact.

John G. Roberts, Jr.
Clarence Thomas
Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
Sonia Sotomayor
Elena Kagan
Neil Gorsuch
Brett M. Kavanaugh
Amy Coney Barrett
Ketanji Brown Jackson

In contrast, the Supreme Court in January 2016 was objectively NOT "left-wing":

John G. Roberts, Jr.
Antonin Scalia
Anthony M. Kennedy
Clarence Thomas
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Stephen G. Breyer
Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
Sonia Sotomayor
Elena Kagan [/quote]
