Title
Giving Democrats a clear Senate majority is a very bad idea
If you think today’s political climate can’t get worse, wait until Democrats jettison the filibuster.


snip-"The Supreme Court has long since stopped enforcing the Founders’ intention that the federal government be limited by the enumeration of Congress’s powers. So, the filibuster is increasingly important to protect federalism — the pluralism of disparate states. The filibuster is suited to the Senate, a non-majoritarian institution in which 576,000 Wyomingites have as much representation as 39 million Californians."

The 10 most-populous states have 53.173 percent of the population, the 10 smallest 0.745 percent — remarkably similar to 1970 (54 percent, and less than 3 percent). Of the 10 largest states, three are currently blue (California, New York, Illinois), three are red (Texas, Florida, Ohio), and four are purple (Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania). Had the Constitution’s framers not agreed on a Senate representing the states equally, there might not be a Constitution."
