Don’t like the rules, change them.

And good luck with that.

Ah, but that rule is one they cannot change—at least under the Constitution. Article 5 (the Amendments article) says that no amendment can alter states’ equal representation in the Senate. “...no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”

So, Hans & Julia, don’t like the Senate, write a new Constitution, and try and get the people to back it. I suppose you can get rid of that pesky 2nd Amendment while you’re at it.
