Yes.  I said that I thought so.  However, is that sufficient
reason to deny representation in the House and the Senate to 
a large population of taxpaying Americans who happen to be
born on a portion of land between Maryland and Virginia, 
who fight and die for this country?

Perhaps if the *entire*
district had voted for Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler, 
Khomeni, or David Duke, we would have reason to check the
water supply ;).  But let us not use the primary victory of
Marion Barry, in one ward, to justify the denial of basic
representation due an American.

Recall that
our founding fathers had little respect for the law.
Recall the Boston Tea Party (vandalism, theft),  taring
and feathering (assault), and armed rebellion against
the government!  A little crack looks like a very trivial
think against that backdrop, speaking in terms of
respect for law that is.
