My point is the Framers did not envision two popularly elected Houses, for good reason. Our three term congressman aka senators reflect popular passions without the humbling experience of semiannual elections.

Isolation from the people when not elected by the people is what the Framers sought and achieved.

Hearing Blagovitch discussing the proper way to allocate the Senate seat he was entrusted by the people of Illinois to fill was illuminating as to how these deals would be done to chose Senators - absent their popular election.
