I get all the claims. What I am asking for is this "foreign occupation" reference. Sauce. Article 1, Section 8 clearly spells out just what size, and why, D.C. had to be independent of any state. But so far I cannot find anything, save for posts like yours, that explain what this "foreign occupation" is, how it became and what it means. Sorry for the questions, but my analytical mind just doesn't work on "I heard" stuff and doesn't rest until I find an answer, its always a binary to me, not fuzzy logic.
