And if someone does have copies–it ain’t helpin’ much.

Will of the people? We are talking about the Senate, right? I don't think anyone has ever claimed that body's role is to represent the will of the people (whatever that is; I would argue it exists ony in the fantasies of populists and revolutionaries). However, I was accused by some of doing just that--saying the Senate should represent the will of the people--when I had the temerity to point out that the majority of voters in the current cycle of senate elecitons has voted NON-Republican. Plurality Dem, about 5% independent/third party, and only 46% Rep, yet somehow the idea persists in some quarters that an manufactured, unrepresentative majority of senators should be able to speak for all of us.
