With Kavanaugh vote, the Senate reaches a historic low in democratic metric

[Billy_Kinetta]

Au contraire, it was one of their finest hours. They put down the mob without firing a shot.

Billy Billy BILLY - You left out some very important words - ANGRY LEFT WING mob!

Same mob, different name.

The disconnect between the United States Senate and the American people has never been greater. If you thought the Senate has gone off its rails, the numbers back you up.

The Senate majority represents a historically low proportion of the country’s population.

Based on a new analysis of Senate votes from 1901 to the present, we found that beginning last year senators voting in the majority represented a historically low proportion of the country’s population.

In yesterday’s vote to confirm Justice Kavanaugh, the 50 senators voting yes represent states covering just 44% of the U.S. population or 143 million Americans. That’s less than a majority, less than the 181 million Americans represented by the senators voting no (you might say the “Senate popular vote”). Yet the nomination was confirmed.​

Oh yeah, the 11 white males really showed women who's boss. LOL, Billy.

Nope. 50 men and women v. 48 men and women.

Notice how these monsters cannot be honest about anything?

Working as intended, the Senate was never supposed to represent the population it was intended to represent the interests of the individual States.

"The equality of representation in the Senate is another point, which, being evidently the result of compromise between the opposite pretensions of the large and the small States, does not call for much discussion.

In this spirit it may be remarked, that the equal vote allowed to each state, is at once a constitutional recognition of the portion of sovereignty remaining in the individual states, and an instrument for preserving that residuary sovereignty. . . ." -- James Madison, Federalist 62

We've been through this. The Founding Fathers had no way of knowing that one day there would be a CA, NY, FL or TX that had 40-60 times the population of MT, WY, AK or the Dakotas. Tens of millions of empty acres not being utilized by anyone are not entitled to vote.

Yes they did you fucking idiot..

The Founding Fathers had States that were more populous than others, Doc! You think Vermont in the 1700's had the same population as New York? As Virginia? As Pennsylvania? They set up a system of checks and balances to prevent mob rule and they did so deliberately! I'm constantly amused by how you on the left want to get rid of key elements of our governmental structure simply because you can't win elections.

They didn't need to know that....

Because the Senate wasn't designed to represent to the people it was designed to represent the interests of the individual states, the HoR represents the people and the design of both chambers is SCALABLE.

What don't you understand?

Oops, ouch! That’s about a week long project for this idiot.

The senate isn’t supposed to represent the population, that’s what the House of Representatives is supposed to do. Senate is supposed to represent the states themselves. They act as yet another check on mob rule. Why on earth would we need two houses representing the population, that makes no sense. This is like complaining that the defense doesn’t score enough points, well no duh, it isn’t their job to do so. This is a system of checks and balances, checks and balances are good. Instead of complaining about the senate, maybe your party should care about the “fly over” country instead of mocking it.

Actually It was the differences in state populations that caused the Great Compromise and gave us the Senate -the states house, and the House of Representatives- the people’s house. So they not only knew, but they designed our constitution around the fact. History my friend!
