Bernie Sanders is now calling for the formation of a state by the same exact area which coincides with what is now known as the District of Columbia.
What implications would a 51st state have in federal law?

Merge it with Maryland, done.
No need for a new state.

But, but, but that wouldn't bring two new Democrat Senators and a couple of representatives would it? Added to the two Senators from the State of Puerto Rico and their representatives the Democrats wouldn't be so dependent on children, foreign nationals, pedophiles, and dead people voting.
What has Maryland ever done to you? Merge it with California. States don't have to be contiguous.

I rather like the seat of federal government to be extra national to the several States. Why would I want a State to house the Federal Capital.
I guess Bernie's really getting desperate now, doing a Hillary Clinton style of pandering for votes. I wonder what the capital city of the state would be? Can you even have a state that only makes up one city and that's it? Interesting as to what the implications would be for having a 51st state though, whether it be DC or Puerto Rico or one of our current states splitting in two.
Merge it with RI then?
No, I think California would be best. That way there will be no significant impact on the host State's politics. Merging DC with a smaller State would create political upheaval.

DC was never intend to be state.So I would rather it not be its own state.
Bernie Sanders has openly been a supporter of DC statehood for a long time...

I certainly do not see any reason to change the status quo. But maybe someone will explain why it makes sense.
Seriously? For starters "taxation without representation." And Wyoming, with fewer residents than D.C., gets two Senators and one House Rep. D.C. gets nothing.
I would think that one might move a mile or two down the road, if I wanted to put my two cents in and give up the transfers the District gets.
I honestly think that's the plan, but I don't think Dems rely on pedos.
