So who represents the will of the people?
I know that this was mentioned here before, but worth repeating, in the words of Commie Girl:

FACT: The 44 U.S. senators representing Blue states represent 9 million more “folks” than the 55 U.S. senators representing Red states. So every time some asshole starts piously intoning about Senate Democrats obstructing the will of the people (although no one seems to be weeping hot salty tears for the will of the people who elected the Senate Democrats!), well, wouldn’t it be nice if we could kill him?

1. Well, if I remember my 9th grade history with Mr. Letnaunchin
a-right, that would be the House of Representatives.

But that's been 30+ years.

I think I'm spelling the teacher's name right.
