Article. I.
Section. 2.
The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States...
Pffffffth... Constitution, shmonstitution...
The Democrats simply ignore the Constitution when it conflicts with their wishes, and cite it as Gospel when it suits them. That's what a "living, breathing Constitution" means.
Thus, they can say it's a gross affront to the document when federal agents intercept enemy communications during a war without getting permission from a judge in advance, but it's perfectly fine to ignore the plain text if it means one more Democratic seat in the House. You've got to have priorities, after all.
Oh, I see, you mean the DC House seat. This is about representation for the District of Columbia. Well I think it has been high time the citizens of the District were represented. Now the problem you boys have is that DC is a city of mostly minorities that will be a democratic lock even if all of SE is gentrified over the next twenty years. Most of the folk gentrifying those old brownstones are Democrats, white ones and that's even worse for your cause seeing how those people have money AND are not interested in the opinions of Kristol, Dobson, Kagan Perle . . .
Do I need to go on?
I imagine the only option for the few GOP members who live up in NW is to form Conservative Citizens Councils to try to encourage more of their ilk to move into DC and help with making sure the elections remain "fair."
