I feel a gaffe coming on.

She already made a gaffe in her questionnaire, claiming there was some "proportional representation requirement of the Equal Protection Clause."

How is this a gaffe?

Does Congress run afoul of the Equal Protection Clause if Congress passes a law stating that New Yorkers get one representative per 1000 citizens and Texas gets 1 per 1,000,000 citizens?

James Madison would certainly think so.
