D.C. Voting Rights: Gunned Down?
A bill to add a voting member of Congress for the District of Columbia (and another to Utah simultaneously, so that delicate balance of Dem/GOP power wouldn't be disrupted and kill the idea dead) passes the Senate—but is currently stalled in the House since the Senate added a measure that would overturn D.C. existing gun possession restrictions, and House Dems don't like that a bit.
D.C. City Council member Mary Cheh contemplates continuing to support the bill–if the same gun laws apply to the Capitol and federal buildings.
Steven Chapman was against the idea of D.C. voting rights, on constitutional grounds, last week at Reason Online.
