Ivy,
Perhaps "bound" wasn't the right word. Of course they can't vote against the constitution etc. An example would be better. Say I'm a representative and for personal reasons, I am in favor of Prohibition. My constituency from what I see, hear and read is completely against it. There's nothing in studies to show that prohibition would be a good idea for my district or the country. I have to put my own views in my pocket and vote the way my constituency wants, because I am their representative, not voicing what I think.
Which, of course, puts a whole new scary spin on all this if Trent Lott thinks that's what he's doing.
