I have a suggestion - that DC revert to Maryland except for the federal area. That way, they get their Senate representation (they will always be Democrats anyway) and with the exception of the north, eastern shore, far west and south of Maryland, they join a truly crappy state where they can do what they want.
I think that the counties in Maryland and Virginia that border DC should
be combined with DC to become a new state.
Virginia and Maryland would probably go Republican after losing
Prince George’s, Montgomery, Loudon, and Fairfax counties.
My view for what it’s worth.
Agree— and add to the “state” by eliminating all the Beltway Northern Virginia communities (yes— demographically draw the lines in/through all of the 100k a year demonrat bureaucrat and Beltway trough eating “consultants” and their real estate). Cut out Northern Virginia make the entire state into Marycolumbianaland. This would REDUCE this “state’s” power by eliminating 1.) the DC Circuit Court and Court of Appeals in the Federal system— gone 2.) the DC government and governing body of Congress and all the graft that results from that— no more Mayor, or Council or... cocaine- well one can dream! and 3.) 1 representative in Congress but-— oh yeah 2 Senators, NO CAN DO,not enough population.
Oh well- it’s an idea to work out and actuate. The District of Columbia houses the UNITED STATES... States representatives in Federal Government. That is it- for ALL the Country. As the Constitution intended.
