Why couldn't a state pass a law that it can remove one of its congressmen if 60% of the people feel their views are not being properly represented? If a certain number of signatures are obtained the congressman's job would be put up for a statewide vote. If 55% or 60% or what ever number they agree on vote that their views are not being represented by the congressman, then the congressman is removed.

Trust me on this one, I hate dasshole, but he will be long gone by the time you can get it petitioned and on to a ballot, and into law. Last year all we wanted was a little water for the Klamath farmer and we are still waiting!

Because any such law could not become effective UNTIL AFTER the NEXT election. You do recall part of the reason the Supreme Court agreed with candidate Bush in 2000, dont you?
