Tiberius Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Yes!! This looks like an easy one. If Democrats win the Senate and WH all they have to do is pass a law, blow up the stupid Filibuster and Biden signs it into law, two more Democratic Senators!

The Democrats need to hold onto the House and gain control of the Senate and the Presidency. As it stands now, your thread title is simply wrong.

Foxx Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) all you need to know about just how... Democrat this stupid idea is, is that... even if the new state becomes a reality, wait for it..... there will still be a District of Columbia. i ***** you not, let that sink in for a moment. yes, that's right, so next year or at some point in the future when the masses have caught onto their madness and put them out of power, they can pass another bill calling for DC to become a state. rinse and repeat until there are as many states as needed for their silly plans to give them the control they desire, forever.

Wrong The Admission to the Union Clause of the United States Constitution, often called the New States Clause, found at Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1, authorizes the Congress to admit new states into the United States beyond the thirteen already in existence at the time the Constitution went into effect.
