Early in the past week the Supremes, with lead singer Sandy O'Connor doing the most screeching, did their best to promote our new designer Constitution (discrimination against white men is okay - for the next 25 years anyway). Now Representative Tom Davis, a Virginia Republican, is working to open the road that will lead to granting the District of Columbia full voting rights in Congress. "Davis said on a local radio show last week that he was developing a bill to give the District a vote in Congress, saying, ''It's hard to make a straight-faced argument that the capital of the free world shouldn't have a vote in Congress.'' [Boston Globe]Anything Tom, just so long as you feel good about yourself. |
If they don't have voting rights, why are the taxpayers paying Eleanor Holmes Norton's salary?
They do have a vote ---- it just means about as much as yours or mine.
