4. I'd love to see this done ...

The only part I have any problem at all with is a district crossing state lines, but it's not a deal breaker by any means. For example, Mass is densely populated, NH isn't - Mass has strict gun control, NH doesn't --- Someone representing a portion of each is in a tough position.

Now all we have to do is figure out how to get it passed, or even debated, in the current political environment. In 10 years I think things will have shifted and it might be viable.

The question is -- when Dems rule the roost again, will they be eager to upset the status quo?

My hope is that PBO and Eric Holder can get, and keep, the issue in the news and get public opinion on their side.

Excellent idea though, the more ideas the better.
