America is a Republic, not a Quaker meeting. We don't operate on consensus and so with every contested vote the voice of a state is being silenced. Sometimes senators from specific states are in the majority sometimes they are in the minority. I am not saying we let folks change the Constitution by majority vote, but in the senate we have tyranny of the minority where a disgruntled few can cause chaos and force the hand of the majority by threatening to blow things up. That is not a model for success, quite the opposite as history proves.
