this is the problem that the fatal flaw in the constitution has. Currently, the 50% of the Senate is controlled by 30% of the country. That gives the minority excessive control of the Senate AND the courts that was never intended. In about 2 decades, or less, 30% of the country will control 70% of the Senate, and therefor the courts. This will allow them to also "legalize" voter suppression and gerrymandering, which will give them inordinate influence in the House as well. And the Constitution prevents us from doing anything about it. A country which is under the control of such a small minority cannot long stand.
