I believe any congress critter who shows a willful neglect or ignorance of the laws s/he is suppose to administer, as well as total disregard for his/her constituents should be tossed out of congress in disgrace. It's time people not only were allowed to vote for reps who actually represented their interests, but that those same voters... when presented with what an idiot choice they made... be made to pay for the cost by losing that unholy representative.

We necessarily want an educated public. It should go without saying that our reps should be as smart... and smarter in both general and specific forms... than your average person on the street.

I probably won't be around when the country gets rebuilt after trump and company. But if I were, I wonder just what kind of government we, the People, would end up creating? Obviously, THIS one hasn't worked well in OUR interests!
