[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who want to make DC part of Maryland: you realize you are conceding that the federal district required by the constitution doesn't need to have the geographic boundaries it currently has. It could be shrunk by the exact amount of land proposed to be made into a new state. Since you therefore have no legal argument against DC statehood, you are left with the indefensible partisan position that DC residents shouldn't have representation because you don't like how they are likely to vote. [/quote] Actually, it's the DC statehood people who have a problem. If they really wanted to have representation, the easiest and most acceptable route is to become part of Maryland. However, they mangle the two issues together and instead push for DC statehood as the only solution for representation, when it clearly is not. In either case, the 23rd amendment is still a problem and would need to be repealed.[/quote]
