4 The Goodland Star-News / Tuesday, January 5, 2021 opinion from our viewpoint... The Senate threat Everyone is focused now on who will control the U.S. Senate, with the last two seats up for grabs today in Georgia and the par- ties and political committees expected to spend upwards of $300 million by election day, maybe more as the pitch increases. As it stands, the Republicans remain in charge after the Nov. 3 general elections, with the count 50-48 in the Senate. If the Democrats pick up one seat, the GOP will still have controls, 51- 49, but if they win two, they will be able to take control with the vice president voting to break any ties. Right now, it looks like the Republicans will keep at least one Georgia seat, but a lot of money will be have been spent. Never mind that, however. The Democrats have a plan to take control of the Senate more or less for good. Over the next few months and years, you’ll hear a lot about how undemocratic the U.S. Senate is, how one senator from California represents 19.4 million people while a senator from Wyoming represents less than 300,000. Why, an ordinary congressman – there are 435 of them – repre - sents nearly 659,000 people, or will after the new census is done. Never mind the fact that Congress was designed this way in the Constitution for a reason, to protect small states from the tyranny of large states, which was much feared in the time of the Founding Fathers and should be today. The compromise reached by these insightful gentlemen was to apportion one house by population, the House of Representatives, and one by states, the Senate. So the House is seen as the more democratic institution, the Senate as representing and protecting state interests. But our government is not a democracy, but a republic. In fact, it was never intended to be a democracy. So while California has 53 members of Congress and Wyoming Red isn’t always the red I see one, both have two senators.Yes, small states have an inordinate representation in the Senate. It was designed this way to protect It is not that I am colorblind; I just am color for the rest of my life. You know how that goes! them. indifferent.
