Topic	JD Vance threatens to block all Biden DOJ nominations over Trump indictment.
TonyKojima 06/13/23 5:17:38 PM #21:	Questionmarktarius posted... The purpose of the senate was to represent the state legislatures, not the popular zeitgeist, at least until the 17th amendment. That's why it's two per state, at six-year terms. Flawed from the start why do the state legislatures need their own representatives anyway? The 17th amendment somewhat fixed things, imagine if they were still picking senators? Frnakly our entire system of representation and electoral system are no longer compatible with the modern day. We have grown too large to continue to manage by "districts". Add to the fact the house is artificially capped at 435 compounds the problem. Let alone the huge disparity in voting power the senate gives to low population states like WY. In no way is it equal representation when WY and NY both have 2 senators when WY had 500K people and NY has over 30 million. --- Though the XBOX 360 is good in theory, it's hardware limitations say otherwise - Hideo Kojima <cite>TonyKojima posted [p:974135775] in JD Vance t...
