re: nthockey: “congress does not represent their constituency”
I agree with your individual points but in the final analysis voters freely select their representatives. If we don’t pay attention and select crummy ones, the blame has to fall on “we”.

Even the “crummy ones” are sworn to uphold the Constitution - or so they swear. They are paid by taxpayer money, so if they represent anyone else, they are taking money under false pretenses.
So, in addition to being crummy, they are liars and thieves.
