Irrelevant. Even if it were deemed Constitutional (see the equal representation clause of Article V), we would need 38 states to go for it, which would mean convincing small states to give up some of their power for a higher principle. This is a very high hurdle.

anyway, Beet is correct here.  we won't be able to abolish the Senate legally under the current constitution.  it would take a social upheaval and/or a new constitutional convention, or the devolution of the US into multiple countries.
