That's a long-standing debate who.
Should an elected legislator do what s/he thinks is best?
Or should s/he do as constituents instruct, even if it's against the legislator's better judgment?

We won't resolve that here.

But putting party ahead of either, that's just treacherous, if not treasonous.
