Just like Democrats want to abolish the Electoral College when they lose presidential elections now they want to do away with the senate.

Democrats will destroy anything they can't control.

Mob Rule.

There are 435 Representatives and only 100 Senators. A normal person who pays income taxes would say it would make more sense to get rid of the House of Representatives and only have the Senate. We could also save a ton of money on elections by get rid of the worthless House.

Curious how Dung-hell wants to abolish the Senate when WE control it.

Tell ya what, Dung-hell. Let’s abolish the House! Well, at least until we control it again.

Fair?

There is a legal and constitutionally valid method for changing the Constitution, Dingell. But it would involve lots of actual work with very little television time and, honestly, would never ever ever be successful in this case.

But, you’ll always have the opportunity to whinge ineffectually about the situation and have a little cry. You'll find it easy to enlist the likes of giggly metrosexual men and random interchangeable actresses to your cause.

Dingell must be abolished with extreme prejudice and malice.

How about repeal the 17th Amendment?

While we're at it, how about Medicaid for .gov employees and elected officials? Let's try it out on them first...

What he REALLY means:

These sparsely populated, usually conservative states can block legislation supported by a majority of PROGRESSIVE CALIFORNIANS.

Cause, that’s what is fair; that we should all be governed by Californians.

I agree with him on this, a “minority of obnoxious asses can hold the entire country hostage to extremist views”. The reality of that truthful statement is 99% of the obnoxious asses (a-holes) are liberal democrats.

The Dems will do anything for power. Why don’t we just become a dictatorship and make Pelosi the dictator?

”… 73 percent of Americans trusted the federal government “to do the right thing almost always or most of the time."

One of the right things for the feds to most of the time which the corrupt feds actually don’t do is to not interfere in state sovereignty.

Dingell is a radical anti-constitutional communist ideologue, too stupid to know his “solution” would lead to secession by states unwilling to live under the jack boots of the populous states. The framers knew this.

If Dingell is really serious, why not break up California and other Liberal overcrowded states into smaller “nation and city-states” each with two Senators. I have no doubt some in California would welcome the new state of Jefferson.

Bit then, they would probably lose control over the Conservative areas.

When an actual member of the US Congress doesn't understand that on a Federal level, the Senate represents the state, while the House of Representatives represents the people, and therein lies the disparity in representation, our current domestic situation goes from comedy to tragedy.

“Dingell, who represented Michigan in the House for over 59 years”

Did he say anything about Term Limits?

Of course he has no problem with an unelected judicial legislature of nine persons jamming their liberalism down our throats.

If Republicans THINK FOR A MOMENT that this is not part of some Democrat strategy to de-legitimatize the Senate for its eventual abolition, they deserve EXACTLY what they’ll be getting.

What amazes me is that the Democrats can win ANYTHING, given their unbridled HATRED of this country.

...but I know, Joe Manchin is a ‘good guy’, he’d NEVER support any of this crap (except when he does).

"Yet because of an 18th-century political deal, those 20 states have 40 senators, while California has just two.

Uh - Johnny, you senile 93-year-old gasbag - KKKalifornistan has got at least 5 US Senators, and is working on getting a 6th:

Dianne "Chinagirl" Feinstein
Kammy "Willie's Whore" Harris
Catherine Cortez "Northern MeKKKsico" Masto
Jacky "Ballot Harvest" Rosen
Kyrsten "Jeffy's Enema" Sinema

The KKKratzis should have Kyl's seat in Arizona in a jiffy with some hearty ballot-harvesting in MariKKKopa KKKounty...
