Not necessarily true, but that seems to be the end result. New high-minded people get elected to Congress and they are immediately whipsawed into following the orders of the party leaders. Those are the guys and gals who got their positions as the result of being re-elected so many times that they know the ins and outs of how to beat the newbies into submission.
Is this the system that the founding fathers had in mind?
