But I can't find the Supreme Court saying that anywhere; that quote. However it's very nearly a quote from The Story of the Buck Act by McDonald and Modeleski.Therefore, the U.S. citizens [citizens of the District of Columbia] residing in one of the states of the union, are classified as property and franchises of the federal government as an "individual entity".
