/----/ Hell No. I hope that answers your questionCongress not only reviews and can modify DC's local budget, but it can also annul any law it does not agree with. Therefore, DC does not have true local self-government.
In addition, the President appoints DC's local judges and is in charge of DC's court and prison system
What makes a state a state? A simple declaration doesn't make it so and it does have a larger population than WY. I don't believe it should be either, because when the Federal government decided it didn't want the VA part of DC, it was returned to the state. The same "courtesy" should be afforded to MD.No it is not a State and has no reason to expect representation in the senate.
It is not a state but it is not a territoryNo it is not a State and has no reason to expect representation in the senate.

The people who live there should not be disenfranchised. DC has a bigger population than Wyoming
The Senate is representative of the STATE(not city) as there are 2 for each STATE.. Since Washington D.C. is a city, NO it shouldn't have a Senate Rep, ever. if people want a State Representative, move out of D.C.Congress not only reviews and can modify DC's local budget, but it can also annul any law it does not agree with.

... or the deal can be amended. What makes its current status set in stone? If it's a Constitutional question, even that can be changed.It was part of the deal when they moved there, and if they don't like it they can move to an actual State.
Why can't a city be a state? What makes them less worthy than the people of WY?The Senate is representative of the STATE(not city) as there are 2 for each STATE..

Irrelevant.They aren't.
They vote, same as the rest of us all do. D.C. voted 90% for Hillary.
That tells you how one sided the area has become.
Republicans would NEVER allow DC to have representation due to its democrat leanings....
However, states like Nebraska or Mississippi have virtually always voted republican....at least for the last 30 years or more..
