What Does a Superdelegatehouseofrepresentative Do?

“…I don’t intimidate. I can hold the ground.   I would lose my seat over my principles,” a defiant Diane Watson (D-CA) declared when asked about the alleged harassment experienced by some black superdelegates over their support of Hillary Clinton.  John Lewis (D-GA) superdelegate and former Clinton supporter announced yesterday that he is endorsing the campaign of Barack Obama.  Lewis’ Georgia district supported Obama 3to1 over Clinton in the Georgia Primary.  I am thinking that Lewis listened to the will of his constituents and acted properly, while superdelegatehouseofrepresentatives like Watson and Gregory Meeks (D-NY) are forcefully digging their heels in cement.  Obama won Watson’s district by 20 percentage points and Meek’s Queen’s constituents want Obama.  I’m guessing these elected officials are not facing any stiff competition in November and are going to retire after their two year terms expires.  I’m going to also guess that said representatives have forgotten their role.  These members serve in the lower house of the legislative branch and are supposed to be responsive to their constituents.  These officials serve two year terms supposedly to allow them to remain connected to the needs and desires of their constiuents.  Maybe these superdelegatehouseofrepresentatives are mistaking themselves for members of the upper house who serve six year terms, a caveat created by the founding fathers to shield them from the “whims” of the common people.  The entire premise of the bi-cameral legislature is balance.  The representatives represent the will of the people and the senators represent the long-term interests of the entire country.  I am not sure what a superdelatehouseofrepresentative does?
