I like the Senate. I don't think American democracy should be a fully and wholly Greek style democracy. The Senate is a good check on the popular will and channels it constructively.
I would favor repeal of the 17th Amendment, anyway.
Of course you do. It's a republican gerrymander where Wyoming's voice (no offense to Wyoming) has the same weight as California's voice.
What we need is one legislative body (call it a House if you like) where the representatives are elected via a proportional representation system (no more gerrymandering). In order to not deprive small states of a voice, it would be ideal if each state had the same number of representatives as electoral college votes. So Wyoming would have 1+2=3 reps, California would have 53+2=55 reps etc.
Enough of this senate nonsense. The only idea it existed in the first place was to give the aristocracy power. In 2014, the whole idea of having a senate is absurd.
