“We are fast headed for tyranny because we the people have let judges make law, allowed Congress to assign lawmaking to unelected bureaucrats who make, execute and adjudicate “law” via Presidential diktats.”
And an arbitrarilly low number of Representatives that are neither accountable to their constituents, nor care about anything other than living in “Club Congress.” Fix the Representation, or there can NEVER be a checks and balances system. On my wish list too is the moving of the U.S. Capital to the middle of the country, and eliminating the need for travel to Washington. There is no reason AT ALL that Congress critters cannot meet virtually and stay in their offices back in their districts. This is not the 1790’s. State constitutions have been TELEGRAPHED in for admittance to the Union, mind you, and that’s been 150 years!
Fix Representaion, clean out the Aegean Stables, and we can get the ball rolling!
The 435 members of Congress was set a hundred years ago when we had less than 100 million people. We have over three times that number now.
The Constitution specifies no more than 1:30,000. We are over 1:700,000 now. There should be around 5,000 Congressmen. Let San Francisco send a dozen freaks, and my rural FL panhandle county will send a single good ‘ol boy.
Every ten years the country goes nuts with reapportionment. Almost all plans end up in court where libs abuse the unconstitutional Voting Rights Act. This judicial nonsense could be largely avoided if there was a rep for every 30-40K citizens.
My two cents.
