it's important to keep in mind that the district of columbia is unique. no other entity, no other state in its existence reports like the district of columbia does, which poses its distance to the district clause. so this brings us to the practical reasons why making the district of columbia would potentially be problematic. i don't think anyone really disputes that the founding fathers, at the time, that they drafted the constitution, at the time they ratified the constitution, at the time when the federal government moved to the district of columbia, that they did not intend for the district to be a state, and that they did not intend for the residents of the district of columbia to have voting representation in congress at that time. whether or not that still holds true today, and many say that it does not. representative jamie raskin has written a lot review article basically saying he thinks that was the view of the founding fathers in 1800s, that that rationale no longer holds true. then again, the appropriate mechanism to change this would be to a

argument that congress cannot modify the boundaries of the district of columbia.t's not what the people of washington, d.c., have asked for. they've used their rights as american citizens under the ninth amendment of the constitution to organize a new state and to petition congress for admission to the union. neither has the maryland general assembly asked for a return of the lands to maryland. so that certainly answers the set of political conditions that don't exist in the real world. with that, i'm going to yield three minutes to my friend, the gentlelady from texas, ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from texas is recognized for three minutes. ms. jackson lee: breaking news, as i thank the gentleman from maryland, and particularly thank the hard work of the gentlewoman from washington, d.c., the 51st state, the honorable eleanor holmes norton. the people of washington, d.c., pay taxes. they wear the uniform of the united states of america. and the legislation my friends on the other side of the aisle are proposing is to propose a dictatio

stathood. >> it's a matter of justice for the district of columbia. i was born in d.c. i was brought up there. but it would also very quickly solve one of the problems that i pointed out which is the imbalance of the senate between rural and urban america because d.c. is obviously an urban -- an urban area. so, it's not a perfect solution, but it's a constitutional one. it doesn't require a constitutional reform or change. it's not complicated if we simply adm d.c. as a state, then we have a little bit of the problem solved. >> let me add something to that. when people look and say, well, it's obvious the democrats are talking about d.c. and puerto rico as states with the view to gain the senate. that's sort of true. yes. that's what they want to do. but the reason they are gaining the senate is there is a party whose power in the house depends on making it difficult for americans to vote. so, it's crude justice. the better answer would be make sure that americans have a legal right to vote. but the right to vote itself doesn't exist. only how that right may be regulate

they are in the district of columbia.e are talking about proposals that would essentially richer cede the district back to maryland? caller: no, i meant because, although it is a district, if it is in maryland, it is a state, so why can't the residents just vote as members of the state. see what i am saying? host: but d.c. is not currently part of maryland. caller: that is a fair compromise, see what i am saying ? you let them vote as members of the state, and then without having d.c. be a state -- it is like saying let's turn los angeles into a city-state or something. you can let them vote without having to go to that extreme of making it a state. because when is this going to stop? host: todd in california. it was the 23rd amendment that provided voting representation in presidential elections to the residents of the district of columbia. but currently, d.c. and the congress has one nonvoting delegate and the house, and that is eleanor holmes norton, who you just heard from. if hr 51 is passed in the senate and becomes

>> well, the district of columbia itself as well as any other jurisdiction in the united states todaylourishing -- it has a flourishing budget because so many people want to live in the district of columbia. if you want to know the real problem the district will have, it is that most states which have gotten statehood have come in two at a time, and one was democrat and one was republican. the district is having to do it on its own and still has 54% of the american people supporting statehood. i think we can do it. >> uh-huh. >> i think we have gotten rid of the filibuster for everything except legislation. we got rid of it for nominations. the senate was late holding off this year over the filibuster, and i think if we get rid of it, the filibuster, that 60-vote margin for everything else, you will have to get rid of it for statehood as well. remember, we just got it passed once before, and it usually takes more than one session of congress to pass a bill, and i think each time we educate the people more and more because the bill passes the closer we get to becoming the 51st state. >

this has become a real cause here in the district of columbia where i live and of course the idea, asplate, is taxation without representation, which is of course a bellwether slogan from the u.s. revolution against britain. you do have a hundred thousand people who do not have representation living in the district of columbia. i have often been an outsider because i have often said if we were reconnected in terms of those voting rights to the adjacent states of maryland and virginia, it would satisfy it. right now, i think there is a tremendous amount of momentum had it in the direction of trying to get something to go here. i don't know that it will get past the senate, but -- ct let's check in with nancy pelosi i just spoke on this issue a few moments ago. >> has of representatives reaffirms its truth that all deserve a voice in our democracy. to hear the congresswoman talk about equality for the people in the district of columbia. >> sandra: i will get your reaction, sean. >> to ron's point, the founders were the ones who actually said no taxation without representation. in our st
