For those who oppose DC statehood, what's your realistic (i.e. not some shooting the moon solution like a constitutional amendment giving it non-statehood statehood or retrocession which vigorously opposed by Maryland and DC)?
I don’t think increasing the size of the House to give DC voting congressmen would be controversial. All Americans should have representation in the House, the Senate is a different matter though.
I understand the principle behind wanting a federal district above the politics of the states. But, realistically, DC has evolved as a ‘proper’ city far beyond that specific role, and do you really think that it is fair to deny people full participation in their country’s democracy simply because of where they live?
