Reader-contributed context, ranked by the community — not IJR editorial.
Methodology: stated positions are AI-compiled from cited public sources; conflicts cross-reference them against the official roll-call record. Consistency = 100 − 12 per significant − 6 per moderate − 2 per minor conflict. Severity is editorial-model judgment — every item links its underlying vote so you can decide for yourself.
