Matthews correct again: The senate, unlike the house, is NOT democratic. |

Is the senate at this stage constitutional?

2. Of course it is. It was designed to be like this. It was a shitty design. |

8. It was, to an extent, designed like that. Awarding all states 2 senators, regardless of population, |
|
was designed to give voice to smaller states who would, otherwise, be creamed repeatedly (yes, creamed is the legally correct term, lol). The evolution of the rules, like the filibuster has far exceeded that initial goal and I don't have to tell anyone here we now see the will of senators representing 1% or 2% of our population dictating to the entire nation.

6. Senate is constitutional |
|
It's the Constitution that's always been a rich man's document. Sorry to be the one to tell you that the US Constitution is bourgeois-padded shite.

I can't count the number of crude insults he's thrown at those who don't support this Corpo-crap Bill.
