I am against the bill providing new congressional seats.

I have always been against this bill for two reasons.
1. I'm pretty sure it's unconstitutional.
2. Utah should wait until the next census to get an extra seat without giving the Democrats a freebie seat.

That being said, I think that the District of Columbia should be given a seat (representation), but the constitution should be modified to allow it. I think most would agree that preventing 'taxation without representation' is one of the main reasons this country was founded, so one would think that there is a solid argument for a constitutional change.
