why should each state keep 2 senate seats

[The Dad Fisherman]

You do know that Senate Seats aren't assigned by population, right?

Or is this the SB version of "The Onion"

Your digital way of thinking is really sad. It just sort of proves that there are some who focus on the small details and can not see the big picture.. kind of like that bitter gun lover who will only support the politician who will let him keep his guns but will screw him over sideways in every other way he can. Of course the Supreme Court doesn’t write laws, but my point was they are the final say in how they are enforced. New laws will be written knowing that the supreme courts balance had now changed. I’m not saying this is 100% bad but I’m ready to start seeing regression happening. I guess you can have I guess you can only have so much progressive intellect in the system before the other side needs their turn.

ScottW - Nebe is right, you gotta smoke more dope to understand the big picture. This obviates the need to determine to follow the law and instead clarifies what laws you can ignore and which ones are absolute.

Nebe - what is this Big Picture you speak of?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the phrase "Progressive Intellect"

I did a quick double take there but passed that low hanging fruit.

I thought about it, but then I wouldn't have been true to myself

no kidding... but seems the bigger picture is lost on some


In the last few decades, Democrats have expanded their advantages in California and New York — states with huge urban centers But those two states elect only 4 percent of the Senate. Meanwhile, Republicans have made huge advances in small rural states — think Arkansas, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana and West Virginia — that wield disproportionate power in the upper chamber compared to their populations.

aaaand...that's because the number of senators per state is not based on population...see how this works? I think it's in the Constitution
