I will also track down and read your piece. I participated in a ZOOM panel sponsored by Democracy Journal and Michael Tomasky. Democracy did a re-write of the entire Constitution that is worthy of a look by everyone interested in real reform. America should pursue a quick path of reform right away because it is currently "a failed state" (to me) and is in a death spiral that only reform and/or a Constitutional Convention can change. I do strongly believe that Democracy's call to abolish the Senate is necessary now in America's current history. Abolishing the filibuster and any such rules would be a compromise that should be acceptable to most Americans.
