What the hell is wrong

I heard a Repug senator say last night that he would have to vote his conscience on Scalito.
What the hell ever happened to the idea that these people are elected to represent us?
Does this nitwit think that he was elected by a one hundered percent vote of conservatives in his state? Fact is, he was elected to represent all the people in his state and the fact is that slightly less than half of them (those who voted against him) are moderates and progressives, he should be taking their ideas into consideration when he votes as well as the conservatives who voted for him!
You think not? Do you really think it is winner take all? This is a democracy and we have the right to influence the way our representatives vote, be we liberal or conservative. Actually, if the senator voted his states majority opinion, then he wouldn't vote for a conservative judge who will vote down Roe v. Wade because the majority wants to keep it!
