When Republicans are in control of the House, Democrats demand that committee seats be awarded to each party based on their overall ratio.  Democrats currently control 50.7% of House seats.  Thus by the Democrat minority standard, the party split for this 44-member committee should be 22.3 Democrat and 21.7 Republican.   Yet when Democrats are in the majority, this standard gets scrapped.  The current split is 24 Democrat, 20 Republican.

When are Republicans going to grow a pair and start treating Democrats the same way Democrats treat them when the GOP is in the minority?

Completely unconstitutional as the constitution declares DC to be administered under Congress, so how can Congress administer a state?

If the argument is the lack of representation of DC citizens in the Senate, cede those portions of DC back to Maryland and Virginia where those citizens live and presto, they have representation.

They would need to amend the Constitution first.  IF we still had a rule of law that is!

About 6 months, as soon as it's Moot.

The argument is that Democrats need two more Senate votes, 1 more House vote, and three more electoral votes to help them maintain power.

Here's my argument to counter:

Texas splits into 5 states to provide 8 more Senators, as provided by its entry into the Union.

Checkmate.
