  1. Precedent exists that ceded the southern portion of the original District boundaries (where Alexandria , Arlington and Falls Church are today) back to Virginia when the DC planners decided to stick to only the Maryland side of the Potomac. So, carve out the area between the White House, Treasury, the Mall, the Capitol and maybe the Supreme Court and Library of Congress as the new boundaries of the District, and give the rest back to its former rightful owners, Maryland. A “new state” can never be regarded as anything besides a cynical political power grab.

    Alternatively, admit two new states – leftist Washington DC and the eastern half of California that consistently leans right. Like a new version of the Missouri Compromise.

    1. You beat me to it Christopher, perfect compromise. And let metro Chicago become it’s own state since rest of Illinois leans republican.

    2. I always feel sorry for the rest of Illinois being entirely controlled by Chicago and I’m glad Indy is not big enough to make all of the decisions for the entire state of Indiana.

    3. Excellent, Christopher; well-said. Good point on California, echoed by several right-thinking, conservative inland friends I have there

      Jeff A: As one who was born in suburban Chicago but raised in rural Illinois to age 16 before moving to Indiana, you are so right: Make Cook County IL its own state so it can stew in its own foul juice and leave the rest of the state alone.

    1. Why, Wesley? So we can have more cultural and monetary parasites reliably voting Democrat and thus speeding up the process of The United States of America fading into oblivion? Isn’t it proceeding fast enough for you already?
