None. So work on an Amendment if there's something you want done, you filthy commie.There are 27 amendments to the Constitution, which of them were done by those filthy commies?Oh, I'm not surprised that there are filthy commies wanting to destroy the greatest government document man ever produced. Ho hum.The Constitution is over 200 years old and it is showing its age. America has changed, the Constitution has not kept up. Don't be surprised when there is popular support for packing the SCOTUS, removing the filibuster, or changing the Electoral College and Senate.Yeah, so? The Constitution states that there shall be two Senators from each state. What's your point other than you don't like the US Constitution.Except it is not:Semantics. The Presidency is the only election determined by the states.No matter what you prefer, our Constitution spells out how this country is ruled. You are also wrong when you said "We are governed by the consent of the people". In fact we are governed by the consent of the States, the people take second place. How long the people will put up with this situation is debatable.I don't prefer anyone to rule. Our Constitution doesn't permit rulers. We are governed by the consent of the people. The minority in power right now isn't conservative. You idiots just don't get it. You're stupid.Can we agree that you prefer rule by the minority over the majority? Isn't that the definition of tyranny?We don't elect Presidents by majority rule in this country. We're a nation of states. A Republic. Moron.
Our republican form of government was designed to protect the rights of the minority and that is a good ideal. It was not meant to have minority rule, that is the very opposite of a democracy.
The U.S. Senate, as you know, is currently divided 50-50 along party lines, thanks to the impressive double win in Georgia, and counting the two technically “independent” senators as Democrats, since they caucus with the Democrats.But, according to the calculation of Ian Millhiser, writing for Vox, if you add up the population of states and assign half to each of their two senators, “the Democratic half of the Senate represents 41,549,808 more people than the Republican half.”
