AKA what he "supports."

I see nothing wrong with fixing the system so 33 people don't represent the same amount of people that five million do.  Especially since the House is supposed to be representative of the populace in order to check the Senate which is representative of regions.  Checks and balances.

But the Senate no longer represents regions. The House was already based on districts, so the ruling doesn't affect it

Are you telling me that Texas isn't a region?

Districts, in order to represent populaces to check the senate, need to represent equal populations.
