[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All if this is merely pipe dreams because the state of Maryland could absolutely claim back its land given that the certain swaths of the District are prime real estate. I would back Governor Hogan in this pursuit. DC statehood could be tied up for years maybe even a decade should MD rightfully sue. [/quote]

Larry Hogan would not want to absorb thousands of Dem votes.   The Md GOP would never go for this.  You would need to pass it in the Md legislature with only Dem votes. But they won't support it either.  [/quote]

Not true the Supreme Court is currently hearing a case in which the legislature gerrymandered/swindled Republicans out of seats in MoCo. So Hogan would love to have those seats back because of those homes have people which indicate more tax revenue. [/quote]

Whatever you feel about "swindling" (gerrymandering just as bad happened in GOP controlled states) the new Dem seats he would get in DC are more important than the revenue.

BTW the entire Md house delegation now supports DC statehood, I believe.

The narrative about Md blocking statehood is NOT coming from Maryland as far as I can tell, but from Repubs from other areas, who don't want two more Dem Senators. [/quote]
