The senate is known as 100 little kings, there is a reason for that.
We need to repeal this amendment and several others.
The Feral government no longer represents the interests of state legislatures.
On a strict “one-man, one-vote” basis, the representation by the Senate is badly skewed. Each Senator has vastly more clout while representing Alaska, than while representing California. And in fact, Senators end up representing not so much their respective states, as representing whoever happens to have financed their most recent campaign.
When the Senator was subject to recall by the respective State legislature, there was a great deal more attention paid to what the people of THAT STATE wanted from their representation in Washington. Now, that responsibility is greatly blurred, if it exists at all any more.
