dlk's JournalThoughts on DC and Puerto Rico statehood?
The House has already passed a bill for DC statehood and the referendum in Puerto Rico just passed. I’m wondering how long it would take for both of them to write and pass a state constitution. The potential for four more Democratic senators is very appealing.
In future elections, I would like to see more emphasis on down ballot races.
The presidency is important. So are congress and the state legislatures.
Republicans have already succeeded at packing state supreme courts
An article in the Washington Post outlines the recent addition of seats in state supreme courts by Republicans and their actual court packing. The false umbrage at Democrats purportedly wanting to pack the Supreme Court is just more of their ridiculous hypocrisy. For whatever reason, the mainstream media prefers to paint Democrats as the culprits wanting to pack the Supreme Court. Unpacking our courts is what is required. Democrats will have a steep hill to climb after Biden is inaugurated
