re: #881 Aceofwhat?

and by the way, if it has force, it would be because the DC charter would overrule the DC bill in question.


Emphasis added by torrent
That would be true if and only if the DC Charter allows minority rights to be removed or reduced by simple-majority referenda. Roberts thinks this has some force. What do you think?

So the DC legislators should get their heads out of their asses and either amend the charter or actually pass laws in accordance with their own damn charter. Rocket science, this ain’t.

How is that discriminatory (IF it were so)?


Yes, they need to amend their charter to prevent minority-rights stripping; the US Constitution is silent on the matter (eyeroll). Rocket science, this isn’t, I agree.
