Re: [What's to prevent the newly conscripted legislators in your plan from quickly being co-opted and bought off...?] "That's a tough one. The only control I can see would define the universe of those eligible to minimize that probability and then follow up with Draconian reinforcement for violators; albeit difficult and flawed."
