A sizable plurality of American would rather be governed by a group of random people than by the current Congress:
Forty-two percent (42%) of U.S. voters say a group of people randomly selected from the phone book would do a better job than the current Congress. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that an identical number (42%) disagree, but 16% are not sure.
Buckley, of course, once expressed similar sentiments when he said:
I’d rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.
He’d be pleased.
I do not think that he would be pleased. I think that he would be sad that this has become true. Personally, I think that 535 random people just might do a better job than the present Congress. This Congress has congressed the Constitution and the people.
