You like keeping the congressional districts at 700,000++, and letting them grow to 1,300,000 by 2100. So we disagree on that.

you know, try as i might, i can't find the place in my post where i said anything remotely like this.
also: i don't understand how eliminating debate and confining most legislative work to committees increases anything democratic. explain please?
also: i don't see how you can really talk about democracy without talking about procedures--changing the number of representatives is not in itself doing anything except increasing the number of representatives. i understand the argument about smaller districts--but the proposal you advance only really seems thought out at this level. i don't understand what you take a democratic process to actually be--part of what you write sounds like you have a direct democracy idea, and part of it sounds like the opposite. this confusion follows from the above.
