D.C. statehood foes are being hypocritical
Robert Dufresne’s May 6 letter (“Statehood for D.C. is unconstitutional”) decried legislation to grant statehood to Washington, D.C. as an “unconstitutional scheme” to “rig elections” for Democrats.
That argument, popular among Republicans, conveniently ignores the fact that the disproportionate representation of low-population red states in the Senate is what gives their obstructionist, minority party the power to stall government at every turn.
This advantageous distortion was aggressively pursued by the GOP in a late-19th century power grab and persists today.
