HR 328, the bill in the U.S. House of Representatives to give a new seat to Utah and a seat to the District of Columbia, is likely to get a vote in the House in March, according to an item in the Washington Post of February 22. Although a recent analysis by the Congressional Research Service says the bill is unconstitutional, there are other legal experts who say it is constitutional. Ken Starr is one of those experts. Anyway, Congress may feel that the constitutionality issue can’t be decided unless Congress passes the bill. Federal courts can’t issue advisory opinions; they can only act if the bill passes and someone sues to overturn it. Proponents of the bill depend on Article One, sec. 8, which says, “The Congress shall have power to exercise exclusive Legislation in all cases whatsoever over such District.”
