--As Yale political scientist Robert Dahl has pointed out, the Constitution is grossly undemocratic. Since Wyoming, with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants, has the same clout in the Senate as California, with almost 34 million, each Wyomingite counts 68 times as much as each Californian.--

That's because we're a republic, not a democracy, you moron.

There's a reason we're called the united STATES of America, not the united PEOPLE of America.

LOL... Man, these people are stupid! And Yale will reward this dork with a doctorate.

Of course, he fails to grasp that the Senate was representative of the STATES, where each STATE had an equal vote, and the Senators were chosen by the STATE legislatures.

The House is representative of the PEOPLE, and as such, Wyoming has less representation than California.

I think he would prefer the name "Peoples Republic of America". That would make America more "democratic" to him.

"Since Wyoming, with fewer than 500,000 inhabitants, has the same clout in the Senate as California, with almost 34 million, each Wyomingite counts 68 times as much as each Californian"

Well, let's consider this point. About 15 million "Californians" are illegal aliens or the children of illegal aliens, or illegal aliens who became naturalized under past amnesty laws, many fraudulently.

Hmmm. Lots of people whose residency in California began under a cloud. This leaves 19 million Californians whose residency isn't recently tainted.

Then when you consider the fact that a resident of Wyoming, descended from ranchers and pioneers, has 100 times the common sense, independent spirit, and embodiment of the American character, I come to the conclusion that Wyoming has earned the right to have proportionally more representation in the Senate than California.

How do I prove they have more common sense? Easy. Two words: "Boxer" and "Feinstein."

LMAO - I was thinking the same thing. What a maroon. The guy thinks he just thought of that? Duh! Quite embarrassing for Yale.
