also, congress is SUPPOSED to overrule the "ppl" sometimes.
if put to the popular vote, segregation would still be enforced in several states, there would be a 20 foot wall along the mexican border, O-Care would still be just a pipe dream, Keystone would be half finished by now, Iraq would be a nuclear wasteland populated by radioactive feral ghouls and supermutants, israel would be a full ally with a mutual defense treaty and massive US troop deployments keeping the savages in their place in Gaza, the US would still have real jobs and a real economy, taxes would be low, and much flatter than they are now, Wal-Mart would still be able to brag about how everything they stock was "Made In The USA", and every state would have the death penalty, and they would use it.
sometimes congress does what's right, sometimes they do what's popular, and sometimes (usually) they do whats best for congressmen.
the dog came with some fleas, but congress and the lobbyists are blocking every attempt to hit em with Pro-Spot.
congress shouldnt have fucked with DC's cannabis laws, but the list of shit congress shouldnt have fucked with is very very long, while the list of shit congress SHOULD fuck with is mostly just the excesses and failings of the congress. .
