What do you think? Sounds like Democraps trying to get a bigger hold. So why would Utah gain a seat??? I hope SCOTUS or someone shoots this down cause its obviously unconstitutional. I guess the constitution doesn't matter so much anymore.

This is blatantly unconstitutional, and I hope the SCOTUS strikes it down.

Utah will get an extra seat because the seat in DC will automatically go to the Democrats, and the one from Utah will got a Republican. This makes it look less like a power grab and more justifiable to the American public. Also, the seat will almost certainly be reapportioned to a Republican state since Republican states are growing a lot more rapidly than Democrat or even swing states (with the exception of Florida).
