Theoretically their constituents are supposed to take care of it by voting them out. They are protected by gerrymandering and voter suppression

(16,720 posts)4. Kind of Agree BUT
They need to be forced to back up their lies with some sort of proof. (which we KNOW they don't have) Try something new here with inherent contempt! WE control things now so i say DO IT!
