Published Abolishing the Senate: Yet Another Horrendously Bad Idea (Blog entry)
January 11, 2011 - 4:37pm
I'm loathe to make a habit of using my entries to give lengthy responses to other peoples' diaries, but this one by Jon Walker was so heinous that I feel it necessary to make the case (again) for why eliminating the Senate (or even the more short-term agenda of getting rid of the
