Yes, but the people have the ability to get them out of office. And in local/state governance, the people are much closer to the problem and are better able to deal with the problem through the vote or the Initiative/Proposition process, or if need be, the recall process.
As I said, local/state governance isn’t perfect but it is light years ahead of the darkness of lights-out federal tyranny.
Maybe.
Personally, I hate ‘em all.
