White House opposes DC vote in the House - Yahoo! News
This is one of those times where I will go off the boards for something that has nothing to do with anything, but I felt compelled to say something about this.
There are going to be arguments about representatives and "amongst the people of the states", but here's what it comes down to for me. We fought a bunch of British bastards over "taxation without representation". Here's the deal: DC residents pay federal taxes, they should vote. I don't care how you do it, if you have to give an extra vote to Utah to seal the deal, if you have to do it via a Constitutional Amendment, you give residents of DC a vote, or you give them back their tax money.
