Kill It With Fire

Dana Milbank bemoans the latest chipping away with the filibuster in the Senate.  But it's tough to say that the problem with the Senate is the filibuster.  The problem with the Senate is the fact that Wyoming has as many votes as California.  In fact, the filibuster perpetuates and extends this anti-democratic feature, by requiring 60 votes for meaningful legislation. Given that Democrats tend to be the ones actually trying to legislate, I'm not sure why they feel it's important to give 41 Senators the right to stymie the will of the people.
