I implore you to give it a shot. The show challenges are fun and quippy and full of ridiculousness, but you also have the other part:
In the downtime while they're prepping for challenges or the runway, the show allows a group of actual gay men, many of color, along with the occasional trans woman, time to just talk…

Well, no, they can't rule on the matter unless a case is brought before them that specifically challenges the 435 cap. From what I can find on the Googs, there hasn't been an apportionment case since 1992 and it wasn't about the cap itself.

See my response to Two Fucks for Bela, I did not mean to impugn poor Wyoming's natural wonders.

I've actually heard it's gorgeous, too. Just positing hypotheticals to allow for the possibility that Wyoming is to blame for all that ails us.

It's not Wyoming's fault, you can't get a fractional person to represent you in Congress.* The problem is with the Reapportionment Act of 1929 capping the number of Congresspeople at 435, making it near-impossible to ever get mathematically correct apportionment based on census data.

Our chance to prevent them from running things in Congress comes but once a decade, as it's gerrymandering that has made Congress what it is today. So we have to get off our asses to demand fair districting in our individual states so that we're prepared for the next census when districts get redrawn.

Genuinely glad to have Sean back on the Newswire in time for election season to wrap up.

Goddamn you for bringing it up! a dozen years later, I'm still not over that scene.

Came across this thread in my Disqus and realized that your post was more prescient than mine, as the TV show chose to do exactly that, book history be damned!

If you want to third parties to become viable, the way to do that is to start local. It will never magically come from trying to get a third party elected out of nowhere at the top of the ticket - the parties need to make a dent locally and spread from there. The only third party candidate that had viability was…

The costume designer discusses the symbolism in Cersei's garments:

Nice catch

You don't even need to involve the boyfriend's race. Instead of falling out of his boxers, make it about a dude who gets an erection in his briefs and has a "tight whitey bulger"

I mean, you kinda have to keep checking until the paper comes up clean, no?

I'd like that thank all the posters that got here before I could, and defended dear Podrick Payne and his highly regarded contributions to life in Westeros.

I sometimes yell at my dog for being in this country for 8 years and not learning how to speak 'Murican when he wants food or walks. You'd think it wouldn't be that hard, since he's an Australian silky, but he's just lazy like all the other foreigners who wanna take our jobs…

html ignores multiple spaces and collapses them into a single space unless you hard code it as a non-breaking space. to do more than one in a row, type:

Should've kept reading before I replied, I knew someone else would've mentioned Robert's Targ background

But Robert was chosen among the options due to his Targaryen blood. His grandma was Aegon V's daughter, and the rebels thought the people would accept Robert on the throne more since he was quarter-Targ

Yeah, I know exactly how far they've been willing to stray from Dorne's book roots over the years, so I wouldn't put it past them to do something that objectively makes no sense according to book canon…
