| #10 True. But senators no longer represent the state but are elected by the people and not the legislature. |

| #9 No. A State is a State. This was dealt with early on. |

| #8 Yes I get your [very good] point - what I was thinking was each of RI's 1.5M population have a lot more 'representation' in the senate then each of, for example, New York's 8.4 million (or California's 38 Millions) who also only get 2 senators. If you are going to make senators elected by the public then shouldn't they be allocated by population like the house? (Not that I want the Senate to be like the House!) And personally I think Senators should represent, and be elected by the STATE legislatures like originally designed. |

| #3 Why the hell does tiny Rhode Island have 2 senators anyway? Personally I think they, and Deleware, and perhaps a few other of those tiny NE states should share a pair of Senators. |

| #2 I think the Civil Rights Act should be actively used against politicians who conspire to strip other citizens of their fundamental constitutional rights. |
