Filibusters are not part of the Constitution. Mitch did the nuclear option on the Supreme Court, no one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The objective is to produce two additional Democratic party affiliated Senators to provide a voting advantage in the upper house of Congress. Providing residents of the district with representation is of little concern and just a byproduct of the primary objective. If there was potential for the district's representatives to be affiliated with another political party you'd be raging against the idea. it makes no sense for advocates of the idea to be dishonest about the objective when everyone in the room knows what it is. To pad the Senate with politically allied Senators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that your ignorance is astounding, but, sadly, it isn't. House of Representatives membership based on population. Senate based on statehood. Civics 101. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's pretty apparent that your definition of the democratic process and others is completely different and has little to no common sense which seems to be something you need to badly follow someone as ignorant as the leader of the new America .
