"And the Founders could have required a "super majority" and they didn't. So they obviously were not too worried about the Senate doing the will of the people.

The Senate was originally NOT intended to "do the will of the people". It was intended to "do the will of the states", and that was the case until the Constitution was amended to allow direct election of Senators rather than appointment by state legislatures (or whatever other means an individual state legislature might choose).

Well since they are doing pretty much the "will of the corrupt cronies", I think a little "will of the people" is way over due.
