WASHINGTON —Representative Justin Amash does not believe the government should subsidize public broadcasting, vehemently opposes abortion rights and thinks Democrats are wrong about spending. Yet he has voted against every Republican measure that conforms to those views.

“I follow a set of principles, I follow the constitution,” said Mr. Amash, who keeps a picture of the seating chart for his Constitutional law class from the University of Michigan on his office wall. “And that’s what I base my votes on. Limited government, economic freedom and individual liberty.”

He has even voted against the routine matter of approving the journal of the previous day’s proceedings, because, he says, there is not enough time to read it. (This is a bit like not clicking “I Agree” on a hotel Wi-Fi agreement because you don’t have time to read the fine print.)

Uhh, Congressional proceedings are a bit different than Hotel agreements.

Thanks for the article! Pretty decent for a Time piece.
