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

[DrLove]

We're there kids - Rule by fiat rigged by an autocratic minority. Sad

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.​

Yup, that's what happens....thank you Democrats.

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

[DOTR]

All their shenaigans and not one vote changed. Not one. The only result was a display of what they really are.

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.

Not quite True, Senator Daines vote changed from a yes to a paired vote and Murkowski's vote changed from a nay to a present.

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?

Yeah, they were provincial hick ignoramuses, and modern day progressive statist chumps like you are geniuses....Sounds perfectly plausible.

What democratic metric?

The rate of decline and increased malaise? The stagnation of the economy? Cultural rot?

Seems to me when democrooks lose, prosperity increases. Look at every major city in America that is going to hell. ALL OF THEM are run by democrooks.

So lets get that democratic metric even lower, lets see if we can make the democrook party disappear entirely and melt into CPUSA and the Green Tards. If the "democratic metric" becomes a negative number, that must mean we are paying off the debt.

That democratic metric that dictates that the left wing dingbats LOVE democracy as long as the vote turns out the way they want it to.

…. when it doesn't go their way, Democracy sucks and it's time to turn to bullying and judicial activism.

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.

What's amazing or shocking about it?...They've been at this since at least Teddy Roosevelt.

McConnell sucked on the Garland thing, but when Hillary imploded it guaranteed the gop would fill two seats ... and maybe more.

The me too thing is new. But for every future nomination, behavior in college and residential dorm HS matters. But it shouldn't take much to get past it, unless the nominee chooses to paint himself a weightlifting choirboy who never went near hard likker and girls.

That was a Battle Royale of perverts, and the biggest and orangest pervert won!

No liar, that's the very reason Trump place Kavanaugh, so rule of law would be upheld. Something the crime party does not believe in. So, like the nazis, you lie and make false claims because you are not capable of honesty. Implement marshall law, round all of you commies fascists up, hold military tribunals then carry out the sentences.
