District of Columbia is a district, right?

Does the U.S. Constitution just not matter to the Democrat Congress (and six Republicans)? In the entire United States, ten squares miles were laid out, not as a state, but as a district to be the seat of government. That's it, 10 SQ MI's... the District of Columbia (D.C.). It's in the Constitution for pity sake! So who moves into a district (and it's been a district since it was established... hundreds of years ago, don't you know?) and expects it to be a state? I thought I was mad over this subject until I ran across Drumwaster at Drumwaster's Rant. I'll let him tell you about it.

Here's another subject. What statue stands atop the U.S. Capitol?
