I suppose I can, if I squint, see Reihan’s (and the New York Times’s) point about expanding the House and moving toward a more proportional system of representation. But while there are some members of Congress whom I very much admire, I have never once found myself considering that august body as a whole and saying: “Yeah, what we really need is more of these . . . people.”
It’s like trying to cure bedbugs with more bedbugs.
