Thank you for referencing that article UMCRevMom@aol.com. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

”… to conduct their daily [emphasis added] duties in Washington from their home districts."

While I say “why not?” concerning Rep. Pierce’s proposal to run the federal government by telecommunication, I question the following about Rep. Pierce. Is he wise to the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers which he has heard his fellow lawmakers read out loud twice since he has been a federal rep.?

After all, military issues aside, since one of the very few powers that the states have delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, to regulate an aspect of intrastate commerce which affects many citizens on an almost daily basis is to decide policy for the US Mail Service, I don’t understand why Congress needs to discuss the mail service on an almost daily basis.
