Here's an issue that's long overdue. The standard argument is "no taxation without representation."
Democrats passed a measure in the House, so Republicans are having a fit. Their main complaint is that it's a "power grab." Classic projection.
Even if Pelosi wants more Democratic representatives/senators -- and I'm certain she does -- it's a matter of basic fairness. It's not unlike saying Republicans wanted to end slavery because newly freedmen would vote accordingly. The primary considerations here are liberty and equality.
The District currently has more people than Wyoming and Vermont, and will soon surpass Alaska and North Dakota.
