This is the same crap the New York Times put out. Can you imagine a newspaper in California advocating that Californians get less than the One Fifth Senate vote we are allotted? A newpaper that admits democracy is not available to the large Hispanic state? One has to be a fairly stupid idiot. Let me explain. California gets, nominally a One Fifth Senate vote compared to the average state. But, we had some compensation, we gained almost a One Tenth additional vote by having the large state veto. That is now gone, California is now basically under the rule of thirty little Hoover states on the East coast, most of them Tea Party states! Notice the Mercury News thanks some guy from Nevada, not that our One Fifth Senator Diane Feinstein mattered one way or the other.
Finally, the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate found the courage to do what it should have done 10 months ago: go "nuclear" and change filibuster rules to let government actually function again.Maybe now the Senate can stop being the place where good ideas go to die and recover its place as the deliberative body the writers of the Constitution intended it to be.
"The American people believe Congress is broken. The American people believe the Senate is broken. It's time to change the Senate before this institution becomes obsolete," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Mercury News Editors, you guys are friggin damn stupid.
