288 - Permanent Apportionment Gaslighting

When you hear a lie so often that you think it's the truth, we say you've been "gaslighted". That is just as true for government as any other part of your life. From early in the 20th century, Congress has been telling the American people the lie that they limited the number of members in the House of Representatives by law. That law is invalid and void. Yet the American people sit back and allow their employees in Congress to violate the law, and do so with blatant disregard for the supreme law of the land and their oath or affirmation to support it. We act like the people in the Hans Christian Anderson tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes". We nod our heads and go along with what we've been told our entire lives, that the House of Representatives legally has 435 members. I'm here to play the role of the small boy in the story and cry out "The Emperor has no clothes." Specifically, that the House of Representatives has denied you the proper representation you are entitled to in Congress, and it's about time we do something about it.
