Not really. That's just a conceit that senators have adopted for themselves. The Senate was designed to represent the interests of the State governments vis-a-vis the federal government. Since direct election began, the Senate actually has no particular reason for being, or defined role other than limited "advice and consent" and ratification-type actions.
They are the US “House of Lords” looking down on us common folk.
” The Senate was designed to represent the interests of the State governments vis-a-vis the federal government. “
You have a point about the Senate being more delibrative than the House only in its own collective mind. However, the 17th amendment was passed in an effort to make the Senate more responsive to the people. The House has always been more responsive to the people.
I agree with you that “more deliberative” is an affectation the Senate has assumed.
