Bandit, the House of Representatives is indeed a gerrymandered rogue legislature, but it's gerrymandered through historical accident, whereas the Senate deliberately provides unequal representation by its very nature.

But the Senate has staggered terms, which lessens the power of right-wing demagogues.

Ahh, now we've gotten to the issue that was at the heart of Bandit's original argument...
