Your post is unintentionally funny, in a way.
Yes, I want a “statist” senate - as in: state’s rights (not federal statist, as you seem to mean).
Not sure why you think the senate would be more liberal, though. That’s at worst a toss-up, and the senators wouldn’t be “partyists” in nature, the way they are now.
Just my $.02.
