What's your opinion about possible Constitutional amendments?

Statehood for DC is more complicated as the residents have not voted for it, the borders have not been established that would exclude the federal property, the governing body is also not set up as a state. For DC, it may make more sense to cede the residential areas of the district to Maryland, leaving the mall and adjacent federal property out. That of course assumes Maryland would accept it, which is not a given.

I used to live in Maryland when there was a push to move DC under that umbrella to enable some representation of DC citizens.

At that time, those in Maryland were fine. The DC residents were adamant that they has suffered so long as disenfranchised voters that the only way forward was statehood and the full representation of two Senators.
Just want to note:

Population of Wyoming: 582,328

Population of Washington D.C. (proper): 702,455
