I don't understand your issue.  I mean, why isn't she right?  [/quote]

See:  Constitution, Of the United States of America (1791)[/quote]

See: the difference between "it is legal to" and "it is moral/ethical/good public policy to"[/quote]

Every year every Member of Congress has thousands of constituents who come to their capital city to petition their government for the redress of grievances.  This activity is at the core of our democracy and the Congress has every right, and obligation, to ensure their constituents are not murdered, car jacked, or have the clothes literally stolen off their backs in broad daylight. Please save us Congress![/quote]

If DC were capable of self-governance, comments like this would cause some introspection among the council and the statehood people. Instead they will probably just get really mad and pout about Democracy. Its why no one outside the city can take them seriously and why so many (maybe even a majority) of DC residents are cheering on Congress of all things. [/quote]

Self-governance is, basically, not one of those things were somebody else gets to decide whether or not you're ready for it.

Plus, I visited Manhattan last year, I guess I should get to vote in elections in New York now.[/quote]

You probably could vote there or soon be able to. What does residency have to do with anything?[/quote]
