The final answer must concern what is good for the United States as a whole; what is good for the freedom of man; what is good for the continuation of representative republican government; and what is good for the several states and districts out of which one nation stands. This should not be hard. Meddling with processes vital to how this nation goes forward, circumventing established rules or moving the landscape to fit an agenda that belies the whole, presents problems. It makes hard what should not be hard, and it can have even further-reaching consequences.
