Democracy always wins: attempts to suppress the Will of the People will always end in revolution. A permeant minority-rule in any other country we'd call autocratic, but in our own it becomes a restriction placed upon us by the eternal wisdom of the Founding Fathers (which is why the 13th has to go, right?). Its time to stop glorifying the Constitution, it was a very, very good model for its time, but we live in a radically different time. The only solutions I see are either to redraw the states based on communities, to abolish the Senate, or to functionally abolish the Senate by limiting its powers a la the UK House of Lords.
