Tom Ramstack, a reporter for the Washington Times, has written this interesting story about the lawsuit Igartua v U.S.A. This is the case on whether Puerto Rico should have voting representatives in Congress. As noted earlier, on August 4, 2011, the First Circuit had denied a rehearing by a tie vote, 3-3. Ramstack believes that the Puerto Rico government, and the individual voter-plaintiff, are certain to appeal this decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. He also explains why he believes that the U.S. Supreme Court may hear this case. Specifically, he believes that Justice Sonia Sotomayor will be very interested in this case, and that perhaps she can persuade her fellow justices to take an interest in the case. The U.S. Supreme Court in the past has always declined to hear any voting rights case involving U.S. citizens who live in a territory or commonwealth.

and quick fix, if the powers that be really wanted a solution short of constitutional amendment(s) [and they do not!] is to assign federal post office boxes for non state citizens in states.
This flawed patch up allows DC citizens to vote ‘in’ Maryland, Pacific peoples to vote ‘in’ Hawaii, Caribbean types ‘in’ FLorida. Surely not perfect. Surely much better than the sorry, sorry present situation.
the imminent purging of the ineligible one and especially voiding his SCOTUS nominations will freeze the PR statehood question into the distant future. — regaining PR training sites, US Navy will finally be allowed to repel Chinese/Russian invasion of Monroe’s US sphere of influence as well as passify the NAFTA Trojan horse — Mexico.
Donald Lake,
I like the electoral patch-up proposal you came up with! This would definitely be a step in the right direction!
Imagine the following headlines:
“Florida is a toss-up, with Caribbean voters being a key factor to decide who wins!”
