It appears that Colbert fails to understand the original intent of the Constitution. The Senate was originally suppose to represent their respective states, being elected by their state legislature, prior to the 17th amendment, which turned over selection to a direct citizen vote. The two bodies of congress, originally was to consist of one elected by the citizens, and one elected by the states legislatures.

Colbert apparently thinks that the voice of the states should be silenced.

The senate was rendered useless after the 17th amendment.

Colbert isn’t fit to shine Johnny Carson’s shoes.

You can say that about every late night talk show host since Carson left.

We stole that election fair and square dxxxit!

Poor guy. This has been pretty tough on him.

First of all Biden is a basket case, to put it gently.

Second, his agenda has clearly harmed this nation.

Third, it just didn’t harm it enough for these enemies of
our nation.
