They are not supposed to. They exist as a body that stops public will exactly as the founding fathers had forseen. That is why they were given 6 year terms with only 1/3 up for election at any one time. They are the guarantors that things move slowly.
This has served us well for 200 years because while the Senate was slow, they were at least patriotic.
It is not serving us now, because the dems have decided that the way back to power is for America to fail and that means obstructing the republicans for the sake of obstruction. They have become the anti american party.

Thanks for your interesting point. I still think the Constitution is a great document. As you say, it is served us well so far. I am quite hopeful it will continue to do so.
However, if conservative Republicans continue to give those on the Left the benefit of the doubt, they will gradually destroy us. And unfortunately, people must come to the understanding that the Left has infiltrated the Republican Party to a certain extent. The Republican label still has meaning, but we also have to deal with people based on what they stand for. And anyone who claims to be a conservative Republican should be able to talk about what that means---on some level.
