Yep. And we have the power every two years to wipe the slate clean and start over with 435 brand new legislators who write those laws.

Unfortunately, we won't really have that power as long as Gerrymandering is allowed.

You mean "until the Districts are aligned in a way that we favor".

We have the power today. The people, however, choose not to exercise that power, and that frustrates you. So you turn to some bastardized reading of the U.S. Constitution and look for an activist court to do your bidding.

Hey, fine ... the liberals do it, why can't we? Right?
