Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., during a Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday accused the FBI of secret involvement in the January 6 attack. Higgins during the hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray cited their exchange from a previous hearing. “I asked you, ‘Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6, prior to the doors being open?’ You responded. I quote again, ‘I have to be very careful of what I say,’” Higgins recalled, arguing that “we can’t get a straight answer” despite a “tremendous amount of evidence.”
I agree, but we’d have to restructure how the House does business.
The current count of Representatives is 435. If we were to go back to old ratios at 30k, we’d have 11,300 Representatives.
We’d have to break it up into smaller, constituent houses, or something.
Too many people to bribe
If we went back to 210k people per Rep it’s about 1555. 210k is the ratio last time apportionment was done in 1912 or something like that.
The math isn’t the point though. Republicans won’t budge regardless because any increase damages their inherent advantage.
