Tactics such as threats and intimidation sometimes do not allow one to be "free to vote against the wishes of their constituents," most unfortunately, and also unfortunately most constituents are not informed enough to know how to vote. Hence, the broken system of government.

Or did you somehow miss the backroom wheeling and dealing that took place to shove the bill through in direct opposition to the will of 70% of the population? So much for representative government.

You surely must be kidding. You think bypassing the constitution is awesome???? You're obviously not happy with our great republic of the U.S. of A, so why not just renounce your citizenship and take up residence elsewhere -- like maybe North Korea or Communist China??
