http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/04/opinion/why-republicans-shouldnt-weaken-the-filibuster.html?_r=0

This year's election saw Donald Trump win the president's seat as a Republican. The Senate, this year, has a Republican majority. When a situation like this arises, where the executive and legislative branches are majority Republican, more bills and laws get passed that favor their party. With such a high number of Republicans in the Senate, the filibuster could become irrelevant. There will be enough people opposed to a Democratic filibuster that anyone who attempts one will immediately get shut down. - Jacob P]]> 2017-01-04 18:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/shejay04/pal8xhek0wu8/wish/145344149 knutyl10 https://padlet.com/shejay04/pal8xhek0wu8/wish/145344747 States are represented in the House of Representatives in approximate proportion to their populations, with every state guaranteed at least one seat.
