Why? It wouldn't change your tax liability. You'd get a credit against your Va. taxes. It's a pure transfer from VA/MD tax revenue to DC tax revenue (assuming no tit-for-tat measure by VA/MD)
I think the lawsuit is completely stupid, since it strikes me as a dead-bang loser. Also, I'm not quite sure what city resources VA and MD commuters use, other than roads. If that's the case, enact an entry toll, a la London, with DC residents being exempt.

The assumption is made that VA and MDers benefit from fire, police, and medical protection as well.
