Yakk, I greatly appreciate all of your comments.
I have actually never discussed the transition. I believe that this will be implemented over two or three decades.
For example, the 2020 apportionment would increase the size of the House to 3,000; then to 6,000 in 2030; and then achieve 1:50,000 by 2040.
OK, that's hypothetical, but I agree that the transition to a truly representative House should
not be implemented too rapidly. The important thing is that this be implemented, without equivocation, according to a
firm schedule which is not subject to subsequent political shenanigans.

Cynthetiq,
States voting as a block??? That is a phoney argument. It's extremely unlikely that all the Representatives
within any single state will ever vote as a block, let alone across a "block" of states. The representaties will be urban, rural, industrial, conservative, liberal, libertarian, green, etc., etc.,
