It probably has been discussed here anyways, and I don't really follow the politics about it, but I've always heard that the District of Columbia could never be a state. *shrugs*

Yes it is, and I don't know why anyone would want to make what is only a city an actual state (Other than for representation).
I had learned myself that the founders wanted the capital to be free of state control, hence the departure from NYC and the creation of D.C.
