is there but to Federalize DC? The violence has gotten out of control, and the current DC mayor is just the latest in a long line of incompetent fools!
“To put this in perspective, people exaggerate how dangerous NYC is, gets a lot of coverage, but it’s still not great. The murder rate in DC, accounting for size, is TEN TIMES that of New York.”
… Without dragging you too deep into the Constitution, Congress in Article I was given the power and responsibility “to exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever” for the District. No statehood, no local government — just Congress running the seat of government. If nothing else, I wonder if the Founders gave Congress that job to keep them too busy to try micromanaging the rest of the country.
Any fool can see that there need to be MAJOR changes, here. Our lawmakers and their staffs need to not be in constant fear for their lives.
