Re: “Trump defends claim coronavirus will disappear, citing ‘herd mentality’”?

I don't see this as such a big deal. Lots of countries have a bicameral legislature with an appointed upper house. Canada, the UK, and Russia are three examples (Russia is of course a bad example). I actually think this would be better than the current setup. The Senate right now is a legislative body that gives people in less populous states far more representation than the more populous states, which is spectacularly undemocratic. Going back to legislative appointment at least would make the Senate once again serve as the representative of the states themselves, and not the people, so it would actually make sense for Wyoming to have the same number of senators as California.
