Both should be admitted as states, or given the opportunity to do so, because their citizens are not afforded the same rights and privileges as other citizens in this country.

The issue with DC is that it is a city that was not intended to be a residential area, but it is and so there are over four million people that are second class citizens because of where they live.

Well, when you put it that way there's no way I can disagree. 

I seem to remember though there was a plan to incorporate Washington and its residents into Maryland; if the democratic party indeed dismissed that idea right away, then I might see (not necessarily agree with) SSF's point of a potential power play.
