When D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton lost her vote in the House of Representatives in January, she loudly argued that the precedent of allowing her to vote on House matters was legally and constitutionally sound. Now she’s got a whole bunch of lawyers agreeing with her.

This week, the American Bar Association passed a resolution backing Norton’s claim to a vote in the Committee of the Whole, a parliamentary term for when the entire House gathers as a committee to consider legislation and amendments. “The American Bar Association urges the United States House of Representatives to restore the right of D.C. citizens to have their elected Congresswoman vote on proposed legislation considered by the House in Committee of the Whole,” reads the resolution.

The resolution also calls on the House to restore House voting rights to the representatives from American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. All six non-state representatives gained the vote when Democrats took control of the House in 2007; Republicans had similarly yanked those voting privileges in 1995.
