You’re thinking Short term, in the long run you’d end up with a much more conservative senate (meaning they’d want a difused governemtn where more power in the hands of the states, than the federal central government). It’s much easier to controll your state capital than Capital Hill!

You may have a point, but I don’t think it will ever happen...don’t 2/3 of the states have to ratify a change in the constitution?

What makes you think that? Democrats in state legislatures love federal power.
