[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1160700, member: 11246"] Local boards are elected officials, like Senators. The board is their to represent their members, just as Senators are their to represent their constituents. Senators vote for Presidential appointments. Lets say a Senator is asked by the President to support an appointment and he/she says they will back the President and vote yea. The Senator goes back to their constituents and finds out most do not agree with the appointment and so the Senator returns to Washington and votes Nay. Does that make the Senator "Ball-less"? I would argue that this is a Senator I want. A Senator that listens to their constituents, and acts accordingly. My local supported the TA and supplement because they felt that most of us would be happy with it. Once they returned and got feedback that the majority of their members were not happy, they changed their support for the agreements. I do not see why that is bad. I am a little upset that they thought we would be happy with the TA and supplement, but I am glad that their support went with the majority. In the end, it is all politics. [/QUOTE]
