Flag football is an offense to the sport of football, a lame individualized degradation for “broke your ankles” basketball jocks who are afraid to endure any mild discomfort or perform any task with the potential to be physically taxing. PLAY ACTUAL FOOTBALL

@blucomazz @ZaxxonGalaxian @shortmagsmle It simply does. Congress has full prerogative on the question of admission *into the Union* People of a territory, once they’ve fulfilled each pre-requisite of statehood as defined in territorial land ordinances and petitioned for statehood accordingly, are functionally a state.

@blucomazz @ZaxxonGalaxian @shortmagsmle Again, qualified sense: It’s an organized and settled US territory with proper local governance - in the land ordinances that governed territorial expansion, this would qualify them for statehood and admission if they requested it. I think the matter deserves a firm yes or no.

@blucomazz @ZaxxonGalaxian @shortmagsmle Accordingly, even those who argued against admission of certain states still referred to those territories as “the state of ——.” Once recognized as a United State, they enjoy the same protections as the original states, especially and of right the electoral college.

@blucomazz @ZaxxonGalaxian @shortmagsmle A state is not a *United* state until it is admitted. But once it has organized itself as a state — and even preceding admission into the Union — it is acknowledged as such. Its admission simply grants it equal status and rights as all other states under the Constitution.

@blucomazz @ZaxxonGalaxian @shortmagsmle If they weren’t states prior to *admission*, their entrance would not be specified as *admission* Us recognizing them doesn’t render them states, which is why the term is “*admitted* into this *Union*” and not “*created* within this *Constitution*”

@blucomazz @ZaxxonGalaxian @shortmagsmle They don’t need to, but it still effectively does. Hence Pinckney winning. They’re consenting to join a union composed of separate and pre-existent states, and the structure and law of that union is to regard them as fully equal to the original colonies in every way.

@blucomazz @ZaxxonGalaxian @shortmagsmle This is the entire source of the King/Pinkney debate preceding the Missouri Compromise. The federal government may admit or not admit a state, but it cannot dictate any condition that doesn’t previously bind the original states. State equality de jure - they preexist the Union.

@blucomazz @ZaxxonGalaxian @shortmagsmle Beyond this, the terms of Louisiana Purchase are explicitly that: “the inhabitants of the territory shall be incorporated into the Union of the United States, and *ADMITTED* as soon as possible.” Legitimacy yet again preceding the federal government.
