I know that others have said this should be a “home rule” decision for the District of Columbia but I will again drag-out my old argument that if a district or state or municipality refuses to honor the Constitution and Bill of Rights, then Congress SHOULD take action.

If — hypothetically — DC had rules prohibiting Blacks or Women from voting, the outcry all over the country would (and should) be that it violates the 15th and 19th Amendments and Congress should intervene.

AMEN.
