Now, they can switch parties mid term and there really isn't a damn thing that can be done.
Yeah, if only it had stayed that way, but it didn't. I can't see the manner in which our esteemed members of Congress are selected, nor their terms, being changed anytime soon. The purpose of my dislike of a career politician, is that they become detached from their voter base and they don't even realize it.
Oh, and Happy Leif Erikson Day (10/9)!
