[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In your blog, and you can correct me if I’m wrong, you said something like if you are pro statehood you have to be pro this or any legislation that comes out of the council, and if you are not pro statehood that somehow “colonial”.

I think that’s the point of divergence. DC is in my opinion privileged and doesn’t take full advantage of that privileged status in the federation. Also, what if the legislation coming out of the council was an abortion ban?

You said you can’t have it both ways. But I think intelligent, political beings must have it more than one way in a democracy.

I stand corrected on the misdemeanors, and I really tried to read about it. That says something to me about how much the council didn’t care whether people understood it or not. I can’t find a summary or a table of changes on their website. Please share it if you can so I can know better.

If it’s not available and you know already, what are the misdemeanors that would require a jury trial under the new law — below are some QoL issues frequently brought up here:

ATVs? 
Simple assault?
Battery?
Braining/bricking?
Carjacking of a running, unlocked, locked car?
Burglary? What kind?
Squatting?
Smoking on your doorstep?
Drug sales (small quantities on a person)?
Fraud up to $$$$?
Robbery up to $$$?
Knife v gun threat?
Wife beating?
Child bearing?
Child doing all of the above and more?

I’m not trying to be facetious but I don’t think this is that simple or that ideological.[/quote]

Inadvertently misstated, you don’t have to be pro but you can’t be against somehow to the extent that you allow Congress to intervene. Which is really the same thing because it’s not like anyone asked us.[/quote]
