[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eleanor is THE reason DC doesn’t have a vote in congress. Gingrich offered her a compromise in the 90’s, where if the city got rid of its handgun ban, DC would get a vote in congress and Utah would get an additional seat. She refused, because it was more important to her to deprive law abiding people in DC of their Constitutional right to own a gun than it was to have a vote in congress. Then a decade later the Heller decision gave DC residents their second amendment rights, and DC still doesn’t have a vote. All because of Eleanor. [/quote] Why would Utah be eligible for another seat? Glad she didn’t take Newt’s “deal.”[/quote]
