Un-representative “dark
money” CORRUPT Senate
The constitutional “Unrepresentative “Dark Money" SENATE," at the time of the 1850 Missouri compromise, prior to the Civil War (1861) had equal representation in the Senate, 15 Northern senators v 15 Southern senators. Although, the constitutional “Unrepresentative “Dark Money" SENATE" population disparity was 13,342,325 for the north and 9,612,969 from the south. There were 3,204,313 UNREPRESENTED enslaved people, could not find where 3/5 of them were allocated, added to or subtracted from, but I am betting most of them were in the south. That population disparity of the "Small "d" undemocratic “Dark Money" SENATE" MOTIVATED the Civil War and cost 600,000 lives.
The constitutional "Small "d" undemocratic “Dark Money" SENATE" was SUPERPOWERED“ in 1917. Rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the United States Senate requires a majority of three-fifths of the senators duly chosen and sworn (60 votes if there is no more than one vacancy to end a filibuster) for cloture, a more extreme minority of senators can block a measure, even if it has the support of a simple majority.
With the undemocratic Senate Rule XXII the small "d" undemocratic “Dark Money" senate only gets more corrupt. You can elect anybody to the presidency and anybody to the House, but everything in the United States Government has to pass the “dark money” corrupted Senate. Small "d" undemocratic “Dark Money" controls the SENATE!!!
The 50 Senators in Mitch McConnell's small "d" undemocratic "dark money" GOP caucus represents 144,017,589 persons, 43.50% of the population. The 50 Senators in Chuck Schumer's Democratic caucus represents 187,090,846 persons, 56.50% of the population. The difference leaves 43,073,257 (13.01%) United States citizens without representation in the small "d" undemocratic "dark money" unrepresentative United States senate.
This is arithmetic, there is no fancy math. Addition, subtraction, divide the sums by the totals to get the percentages, grade school arithmetic. Be ASSURED small "d" undemocratic "dark money" knows how to add, subtract and count!!
Mitch McConnell's small "d" undemocratic "dark money" unrepresentative Senate is inherently and irrevocably constitutionally CORRUPTED.
In a new small "d" undemocratic "dark money" senate without regard to party, 52 of the senators, from the 26 least populous states amount to a minimum 18% of the population.
To hold a filibuster and BLOCK EVERYTHING takes 42 senators from the 21 smallest states with a minimum 11% of the population.
Now you might mistakenly ASSUME that the 30 states and the 60 of 100 senators needed to overcome a filibuster would REQUIRE a majority. WRONG!!!! The 30 least populated states (60 senators) with a population of 80,549,406, amount to only 24% of the total population.
The current UN-REPRESENTATIVE constitution produced the Civil War, sustains civil rights inequities to this day and RESISTS all improvements to our for-profit-healthcare system.
The United States senate is irretrievably, uncontestably CONSTITUTIONALLY CORRUPT. The founding fathers had to compromise to maintain the union in the face of slavery. We NOW need to do away with obscene compromise and institute the representative democracy we all know is NOW required.
It should be noted additionally, you can elect a president with only 23% (55,169,028) of the population, 51% of the 41 smallest states by population to get 270 electoral votes in the constitutional small "d" corrupt undemocratic Electoral College. And as Trump wanted, January 6, 2021, throw the presidential election to the house for election by 26 of the least populous states 16% (39,539,449).
Now theoretically the premise of the 2 Senators from each state and the Rule XXII (3/5 i.e., 60 senators of the senate to stop a filibuster) of the Standing Rules of the United States Senate were to stabilize government and protect it from the whim of a fickle majority. The EXACT opposite has occurred, an EXTREME austere minority too often controls our government.
But the hope for sagacity of the stable long terms of the Senators have not materialized and the senate has been corrupted by the negation of a corrupt minority.
