Fair Representation for Everyone

Texas Representative "Kino" Flores, convicted on felony ethics charges, will be able to vote in the upcoming session of the Texas legislature. There is apparently no law barring felons from participating as long as they were convicted while in office. Personally I don't see the problem with this. Flores has a natural constituency in Texas--all those ethics felons, both convicted and unindicted like Tom Delay, Rick Perry and numerous others. Everyone deserves to be represented by their peers. I understand Flores intends to move to Illinois to run for governor in 2014.
