Only if the filibuster is done away with entirely. Nuke that and it'll happen.

No, and that's because opponents at least have a coherent argument why the District of Columbia should not be granted statehood, one that is worth consideration. I see no such impediments to Puerto Rico becoming a state, however, should that be their wish.

Give it time, someone will find something.
