The Constitution Committee members were absolute that they DID NOT want the choice to be a Senate Charge although it had been proposed. Excerpt: "55 Men The Story of the Constitution" by Fred Rodell...."If the Senate, with small states voted equally,should do the choosing, "the judges might be appointed by a minority of the people".

Based on Madison's Notes

Gee, that kinda takes care of the filibuster issue, too.

Maybe I'm slow but what is posted doesn't add up to me. Can you expand on the relationship between your conclusions and Madison's note? Thanks in advance.
