Comment: Rules? What rules.
Rules? What rules.
Correct, Congress isn't bound to the will of the people. They vote against them constantly. This is only comparable in the case of a referrendum where there actually is a popular vote on a bill or act.
There is no rule that says representatives have to vote the will of the people. But there is a rule that says delegates have to vote for the winner of the popular vote. But its just a rule. We've seen the RNC break rules time and again so apparently its okay to break them. They set the standard, after all.
So break them! Make them have to break them again and expose themselves. You'll never catch a criminal if they don't break the law!
How about this scenario? You voted for someone at a primary. They won. You are now bound. Then this candidate has a nasty scandal kick up or committed a crime. Now you and everyone else doesn't like them, even though RNC does. You still gonna vote for that guy? Who chooses, you or the RNC?
WHO CHOOSES? YOU OR THE RNC?
