The U.S. House of Representatives will today vote on whether to give the District of Columbia a single non-voting statue in the Capitol’s Statuary Hall.
Earlier this year, the Committee on House Administration approved a bill introduced by Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton that would give D.C. two statues in the Capitol, as each of the 50 states gets. In a comically petty act, Republicans balked -- but said they were fine with the District getting just one statue.
Norton, who is used to this sort of thing, decided to go along.
“Its federal taxpaying status entitles the District to two statues, like other jurisdictions that pay the full freight to support our government,” she said. “However, we need to seize whatever rights we can, when we can, and pick up the rest when we can.”

Once again these liberal retards show contempt for the U.S. constitution.
The District of Columbia was designed to be a buffer zone where nobody had State representation.
These dumbocrat weenies just don't get it.
