This is part and parcel of the monied elites’ fear of the common man. The radical right wants everyone who is “beneath” them to be policed into submission to leave only a pool of compliant economic resources on two legs. It’s a pernicious habit of mind, born of the slavers from before the founding of the Republic, and persisting among those who think they are born to be in control.
The only hope of restoring meaningful Constitutional rights is the elimination of the filibuster in the Senate. The sensible remedies for Constitutional violations established by the Court in the 1960’s could all be carried into effect through amendments to Title 18 of the U.S. Code and to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Such amendments are impossible in a Senste where the minority controls the majority. Time is running out.
Make DC a state and get RID of the Electoral College. The Constitution is what the founders could cobble together that enough men would agree to pass. Moneyed men, for the most part. Currently, the Constitution is not holding up well. The flaws are becoming evermore apparent.
D.C. AND Puerto Rico...that is if they still want to be part of this messed up country, ruled by a minority dominated by the reactionary farts of the fascist radical right.

Please make DC a state as well and reform the Electoral College.

Given that their membership might "tilt the playing field" back to level, they might be interested.
