[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good bye home rule. [/quote] What does that have to do with anything? Congress reviews all legislation passed by the Council before it can become law and retains authority over the District’s budget. Also, the President appoints the District’s judges, and the federal USAO serves as both the local and the federal prosecutor for all crimes, including misdemeanor drug possession cases to murders. How would expanding Congress's authority over DC change the District's laws, budget for crime, or prosecution of crime? All of it is run by the federal government already. Maybe that is the problem; maybe we need more local control over our criminal system so Congress can't gut our gun laws and the federal judiciary can't refuse to prosecute and punish people committing crimes in DC.[/quote] Congress can’t gut our gun laws. Lol. Low information voter. This is what we’re dealing with. No wonder crime is so bad.[/quote]
