RE: 'Supporters argue that provisions in the legislation that granted Utah statehood would allow it ...'Thanks! I think I also saw something recently on FoxNews which seemed to agree with that.

I think only TX didn’t get bent over frontwards and have equal footing with the original 13. CA was bent over right in their statehood act. Maybe that’s why homosexuality is so popular in this state...

When something good happens to a state, the federal govt has to work extra hard to balance it out with bureaucratic headaches that last decades. Seems that way, all "for the children" no doubt. Truth be known, lawyers making work for other lawyers. And bureaucrats. And lobbyists. And well heeled constituents. BTW, recalling from history the reason Alaska was a bit different from the rest of the western states: Alaska was bought outright by the federales from the Russkies so it was like a wholly owned subsidiary at one time. ;^) Recall Seward's Folly, late 1800's?

I know of Sewards Folly and I’ll have to pick up some books on it, far more interesting history here to dive into though IMO.
I would imagine that there were plenty of ‘crafty’ lawyers in the 1800s, and by 1959 no doubt about it!
