A couple of weeks ago on Real Time with Bill Maher, the host commented that Thomas Jefferson did not think the U.S. Senate was necessary as a part of the legislative branch: the House of Representatives, whose number is determined by population, is enough. So Bill was for “getting rid.”
Agreed. Two senators per state, with no relationship to per capita, given the power to kill legislative reform that the House proposes in answer to constituents’ needs, is, certainly today, proving to be poisonous.
Thus I feel ready, nay, eager to flush them all down a large toilet, with just a split second to grab the collar of Senator Al Franken of Minnesota.
