<<There are 32 Jewish representative in the House and 14 Jewish Senators. In your mind, how many Jewish representatives (and Senators) is fair?>> The number of Jews in the US is approximately 6 million. Roughly 2% of the overall population. 2% of 100 senators is 2...........you say we have 14 jewish members 2% of 435 congressmen is 9 You say we have 32 Jewish members I am not going to say what is fair or unfair but only that they are over represented. Just like Protestants are under represented on the Supreme Court i.e. Zero Jews soon to number 3 out of 9 which is 33%. The two biggest honchos in the White House..Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod both Jewish. If you look at all of them together it is almost 100% democrats. As a group they are partially responsible for the troubles we have in city, state federal and constitutional affairs, along with the other democrats

There are 32 Jewish representatives in the House and 14 Jewish Senators. In your mind, how many Jewish representatives is fair? Who cares about the religion of the various politicians? How they vote is what matters.
