User Clip: Sen. Cotton: Dems' DC Statehood 'a Naked Power Grab'

"all my observations about the practical effects and constitutional obstacles give too much credit to what the Democrats are really up to: a naked power grab.

Democrats in Congress are advocating D.C. statehood against the will of the American people—including the will of Democratic voters, a majority of whom oppose D.C. statehood. Democratic politicians are pushing for this radically unpopular idea not because it’s a sound idea but because they’re angry that they don’t win every election under the current rules. So they want to change the rules." close
