So this 'bicameral legislature' idea is still being considered?
Just my two cents: personally, I was first completely against this. Then, I became more open to the idea and even started liking it. Now I think it's a really bad idea after seeing how slow it takes a unicameral legislature to pass a bill. I don't mean to point fingers at anyone, but ever so often the Senate gets bills which take one, two, three - I think even at one point during my time here, four months - to agree to a final vote on.
Obviously, a bicameral legislature would stall the process even further. Now, maybe most folks here really like debate and wouldn't mind working on the same thing for months at a time, but I personally would get pretty damn frustrated to see half my legislation not even make it to the floor by the time I'd been up for reelection twice since proposing it.
I realize I sound like an extreme pessimist here, but given what I've seen from the Senate over the three years I've been here, I don't think a bicameral legislature would be a very good idea, especially with Senate terms being as short as they are.
