What is it with D.C. Congressional representation and/or statehood?

It seems like this is a liberal special-interest shibboleth.

My answer is the constitutional one. (And NO, let it NOT be said that I enshrine the Constitutional of the United States in any Sinai-like way. Read my Amazon review of Daniel Lazare’s “The Frozen Republic” to see just how strongly I agree that the document is anachronistic and archaic.)

Anyway, the constitutional solution for D.C. Congressional representation is retroversion. D.C. gets “disestablished” and reverts back to Maryland. Period.
