I think the founding fathers would have framed the senate a little differently if they had thought a state like California was even a possibility.

My brother and I have heated arguments on the senate. He says the senate is functioning as intended, "protection of the minority," I call it tyranny of the minority when California and New York have the same Senate representation as South Dakota and Wyoming.

I don't know what he would think. I'll have to pull this out next time we start arguing at Family Dinner.

I'm the token Liberal of the family, I need all the info, theories, and arguments I can get.
