dk - there is absolutely nothing in the Constitution about a represenative or Senator having to "do the will of the people". They'll do that if they're smart, but occassionally you'll see someone make a principled stand. Jinn's point is that if they're making such a stand, they're doing so knowing full well that it's an unpopular opinion with the "folks back home" but an issue that needs support.
But you're not so obtuse that you don't know that already. I'll play your game, though, and ask you what the point of this line of questioning really is.
