Sans a next {shudder} USSC review of several interpretations: this is pure Theater, marked here by cynical (for those who actually reaize this fact) 'patently-false semantic tricks'. aka FAIL.

You don't think the former slaver states are going to give up their enormously unequal power in Presidential races, let alone their outsized representation in the Senate without a fight (and boy, howdy! do they all have guns!) do you? bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
