#6 Ref #4: "The National Guard will deploy over 6,000 guardsmen to D.C. by the weekend."

D.C. National Guard not mobilized? Perhaps a question which should not be asked.

...DC becoming a state would result in something that makes California look downright Goldwater conservative.

There's another thing to keep in mind as well - a DC state would be a one-party state with an army in the form of the DCNG. And you gotta believe that there are Dems out there literally salivating at the thought of being able to surround a GOP-controlled White House or Capitol with Democratic Party controlled guns, or blocking access to those structures.
