On the Thursday edition of MSNBC’s All In, guest and longtime American Enterprise Institute scholar Norm Ornstein showed his elitist disdain for the Founding Fathers and our constitutional government, bemoaning how less than half the U.S. population has a “super majority or close to it” in the U.S. Senate.

All told, the AEI personality used the tax plan to bemoan how small states have the same level of representation in the Senate as larger ones, showing a “complete detachment from representatives from their own voters”:
Of course, this is the whole point of the U.S. Senate, as laid out in Article I of the Constitution while the House of Representatives is set-up just as Ornstein wishes with more populous states having more seats (and thus a larger voice).

We’ve been moving in that direction for a while, but the fact, you go past the Electoral College, gerrymandering, a Senate where 40 percent of the population controls the super majority or close to it of the Senate. The fact that you have such opposition to this from every expert group, from large numbers of people, and they don’t care anymore, all they care about is the large donors and an ideology that ignores facts. It’s just appalling.
