If it passes constitutional muster, which it CANNOT without a constitutional amendment, then fine. Having said that, let me say that it violates all civilized notions of representative government to deny a group of people the right to elect their representatives.

This bill, if it became law, would clearly be Unconstitutional (see Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution). So enacting this bill into a law would be a wasted effort. If D.C. is to get voting representation in either House of the Congress, a Constitutional amendment, statehood, or retrocession must occur.
