>> what we have today - a House with six year terms. <<

Sure, Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee of Texas could easily be elected Senator Shelia Jackson Lee of Texas, since there's no difference between the two houses since the 17th passed. I'm sure her constituents in her ultra-liberal safe Democrat house district are exactly like the statewide electorate.

Give it a rest.

Pause for a moment and ponder:

The House is popularly elected to 2 year terms.
The Senate is popularly elected to 6 year terms.

That’s my point. Yours is obfuscation and nonsense.

The Senate was supposed to be insulated from popular sentiment and represent the natural aristocratic/landed/monied class that exists in every society.

If you think Madigan represents his own interests you’re a fool.
