    Senate votes to give DC citizens vote in Congress

    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.
    The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of
    'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day
    America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. ~ Norman Thomas

    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).
