The Supreme Court today put the kibosh on an effort by voters in the District of Columbia to elect Congress members:
CNN – The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a long shot bid from registered voters in the District of Columbia who sought the ability to elect representatives to Congress.
The group of voters said their inability to vote for members of Congress violated their rights to equal protection and due process and pointed to the fact that Congress extended voting rights to overseas residents but not to similarly situated residents of DC.
“Residents of the District of Columbia are the only adult American citizens subject to federal income taxes who lack voting representation in Congress, except for felons in some States,” lawyers for the residents wrote in legal papers.
A lower court ruled against the voters, holding that they do not live in a “state.”
The court rejected the appeal without comment.
While the Supreme Court’s rejection allows the lower court ruling to stand, the overall effort is by no means over. Fascist Democrats are continually trying to push for statehood so they can elect more Democrats to Congress so they can destroy this country.
Even so, I’m very glad the Supreme Court didn’t even entertain this unconstitutional madness.
