Found: The Bush Administration's Copy of the U.S. Constitution

Finally, after more than six years of torture, domestic spying, imprisonment without trial, kangaroo courts, election fraud, corruption and a general contempt for the rule of law, the Bush Administration has finally found its copy of the Constitution.

Unfortunately, they are using it as a partisan club to try to beat back efforts to expand Congressional representation to the residents of the District of Columbia.

From the WaPo article:

"The Constitution specifies that only 'the people of the several states' elect representatives to the House," said White House spokesman Alex Conant. "And D.C. is not a state."

Could someone point out the clause in the Constitution that allows the Executive to selectively follow it? Inquiring minds want to know. :)

Pertinent reminder:
