[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And that’s why Home Rule should be abolished.[/quote]

Home Rule has nothing to do with the feds dragging their feet on DC crime prosecution. The problem is literally the feds and you want them to have MORE control?

This is all about Republicans trying to get rid of DC's electoral college votes. Mark my words: that is the agenda.[/quote]

There is a 0.0 chance of the 23rd Amendment getting repealed.[/quote]

They don't have to appeal the 23rd Amendment. They just need to change the law that stipulates how the District of Columbia chooses its Electoral College electors.

The text of the 23rd Amendment:

[quote][i]
Section 1
The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:

A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.

Section 2
[b]The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[/b][/i][/quote]

They just need to amend the legislation referred to in Section 2. [/quote]
