    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted K.S. Kirton

    The Founding Fathers compelled these states to abandon these claims. That's how we got the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, signed by George Washington, & how Kentucky & Tennessee became states during Washington's presidency.https://twitter.com/curtainsdc/status/1374406667287158786 …

        Also, Georgia sold the land that now comprises Alabama & Mississippi in a fraudulent land deal, but that's another story.

        Can we at least all agree that non-contiguous super Massachusetts was a bad idea?

        It would today be called Red Sox Nation.

        I’d love to hear the originalist, federalist and textualism arguments for why the federal government can not only unilaterally dictate state boundaries but then create new states out of the disputed territory without the state’s consent.

        The word “disputed” would seem to point the way.

        The special status of the District of Columbia is spelled out in the Constitution in Article I, Sec. 8. How that has any logical connection to the states' early cession of western lands for territories is a mystery to me.

        “These other states changed boundaries from the time of founding, therefore the founders couldn’t possibly have foreseen such a thing as modern D.C.” Also, reasons.

        Furthermore, what does one argument (the FFs didn't want DC to be a state) has to do with the other (some states claimed larger territory than their current boundaries)?

        I just now realized that Mass skipped over New York, 4 great lakes, AND Canada. Gotta love that baller New England attitude.
