Switch the bait

I have enjoyed Jim Morin’s editorial drawings for decades. He has the unique capacity to showcase the ageless quote, “One picture is worth a thousand words”. However, I wonder if the Nov. 28 cartoon would have been more accurate by replacing the “U.S. House” walking into the menacing bear trap, baited with the immigration bill, with a depiction of the U.S. Constitution.
