The Fourth Seat will come

In 2012. Until then, why mess with something that is bound to be undone once a court reviews the arguments against it.

More importantly, however, is the question of why we are even considering giving D.C. a House seat. The Constitution clearly states that D.C. was supposed to occupy a space "not exceeding ten Miles square." Yet today, D.C. occupies nearly 70 square miles. If we simply comply with the Constitution and recognize its legal boundaries, we'll find that most of the D.C. "residents" were represented this entire time.

While that may open the door to more legislation - people claiming to have been disenfranchised by not being afforded the opportunity to vote for their representatives - it beats dealing with the nonsensical compromise involving Utah's eventual fourth seat.
