I have been saying for years that the Senate should be abolished altogether. It is indeed like the House of Lords but at least the Brits have a parliamentary system to keep them in line. The US Government is totally dysfunctional now and the Senate is the main obstacle to getting anything done for the good of the country.
Remember that the Senate was formed by the Founding Fathers as kind of an undemocratic bribe to keep the southern states in the Union. How do we think that worked out???
