The Washington Post, of course, views matters differently, as their headline indicates.

White House Opposes D.C. Vote

Of course, that isn't the case at all.

The White House declared its opposition yesterday to a bill that would give the District its first full seat in the House of Representatives, saying it is unconstitutional, and a key Senate supporter said such concerns could kill the measure.

"The Constitution specifies that only 'the people of the several states' elect representatives to the House," said White House spokesman Alex Conant. "And D.C. is not a state."

But then again, when has a little thing like the Constitution ever gotten in the way of liberals pursuing a goal that is illegitimate under the clear language of the document that defines our government and its powers?
