    "The House of Representatives voted on Thursday to pass a bill that would grant statehood to Washington, DC, a Democratic priority that faces obstacles to final passage even with the party now in control of both chambers of Congress and the White House. The party line vote was 216-208."

    ""Let's be very clear what HR 51 is all about: It's all about creating two new Democrat US Senate seats," GOP Rep. James Comer of Kentucky said during a committee markup of the bill last week."

    Yup.

    Why stop with attempting to stack the SCOTUS? May as well attempt to stack the Senate too.

    Republicans can split Wyoming into North and South when they get in to even it back up.
