I wish as I were as optimistic as you on DC. With Democrats controlling everything, we're going to get DC/PR statehood. Manchin and Sinema can say all they want about not making them states and not backing court-packing, but their side has embraced cancel culture. If they don't bow down to the AOC/Warren/Sanders nut jobs on the left, they're going to get cancelled. They'll get a primary challenge and have mobs go to their homes and offices who will threaten them and force them to change. They will bow down to the mob.

It literally can't happen without an amendment.

A SpCrt Challenge would happen immediately and should be a 9-0 decision, but would likely be 8-1 or 7-2 because of the wise latina and possibly Kagan (I think Kagan would vote against personally).

It is literally spelled out in the Constitution.

Puerto Rico will be a state within the next 2 years though.

They already voted for it. They don't give a shite about federal income tax because the vast majority of people there aren't going to pay it. They want the handouts.
