The current side-show with all things considered has the framers turning in their graves witnessing the ineptness and ideological gridlock espoused by the duopoly. The Senate, like the remainder of a three-prong approach, is supposed to embody a government by the people for the people. Absent entertaining a diatribe on the disproportionate representation.
