I am indeed suggesting a Virtual Congress conducted on the Internet in clear view of the voters.

This would mean that there could be more than 435 congresscritters. Rather than have one per every 30,000 people, a larger number could be chosen that would not be unwieldy but would be more representative.

“a larger number could be chosen that would not be unwieldy but would be more representative.”

Would we then begin to fear the tyranny of the masses and act with haste and not deliberation?

It would be only one small step further to direct voting by the population. James Carville would rejoice.

I like this Brutus. Where was he when I studied History?
