However.  If either House needs its power crimped, it is the Senate.  The House could possibly use some reforms to take districting out of the hands of the States, preferably via some form of proportional representation.

Those are my thoughts as well, despite the current political reality. At the very bare minimum, redistricting reform is absolutely necessary. The fact that gerrymandering is allowed is a mockery of democracy. I wouldn't mind PR as well, but a lot would depend on how such a system would be set up.
