I agree with the constitutional argument that NRO makes against the bill to give D.C. a congressional vote. One thing about the discussion of this bill that I find a little odd is the notion that it’s “politically balanced” because it gives an extra congressman to Utah, too. Utah is going to get that seat in the next apportionment anyway. So the bill would give Republicans an extra vote for five years, while giving the Democrats an extra vote until the end of time. This imbalance isn’t the main reason to oppose the bill, and it may not be a reason to oppose it at all. But neither is its supposed “balance” a reason to support it.
