Yeah, I was aware of that. As the representation goes up (number of voting members) the efficiency/effectiveness tends to go down. Seems like a lose-lose scenario. I think a better scenario is to follow the original intent of the 10th ammendment and leave the states to provide most of the laws (smaller populations should result in better representation). Sadly it seems that just about anything can be shoehorned into the federal perview with the right judge. For example, growing your own wheat, on your own land, for you own consumption can be restricted by the federal government because the fact that you no longer have to buy your wheat impacts the interstate commerce of the wheat market.
