It's funny watching all these Republicans argue forcefully that they have a god-given right to minority rule. Hey guys--we can also change how many states there are and how they're carved up. That's not set in stone, you know. ;-)

and honestly: if you think Wyoming *deserves* the same number of Senators as California, you have no moral authority to say anything about "the American people." Jefferson would have shuddered in horror.

And yeah, that's right: conservatives have no moral authority to govern right now. The GOP got fewer votes in the Senate. Trump lost by 3 million. Dems hold the House in *spite* of massive gerrymandering. You have no moral authority to govern. We will end the apartheid.

Anyhoo, Republicans get prickly when you point out that most people didn't vote for them & don't like them, they derive no moral authority from popular will, they survive on gerrymandering, federal largesse & apartheid affirmative action, and don't speak for the American People.

The Senate doesn't represent people. The Senate represents states. That's why each state has the same number of senators. This is pretty basic constitutional stuff.
