re: #492 Blind Frog Belly White

There’s so much crazy shit going on. Yesterday, the SCOTUS heard arguments about whether to abandon the principle that we’ve used to determine representation for state legislatures for nearly 150 years, based on the cockamamie belief that only voters need to be represented.

Didn’t we go to war back in 1775 over that issue? Wasn’t that the guiding principle of our declaring independence, that everyone should be represented because the actions of government apply to everyone?

Non-voters to count as 3/5 for census purposes?
