: Owen's Rhetoric

By Andrew

Still not representing

Well, three Senators couldn't come around to the American cause of representation.

GOP Minority leader McConnell makes the odd point:

"I opposed this bill because it is clearly and unambiguously unconstitutional," McConnell said in a statement. "If the residents of the District are to get a member for themselves, they have a remedy: amend the Constitution."

How, I wonder, are "they" to act on that remedy when they have no representative to make said motion to amend the law of our land.

The Constitutional argument is bogus. Senators Hatch and Lieberman do a decent job addressing this in their recent editorial in the Post.
