Wisdom of our forefathers
What a civics lesson. Separation powers, anyone?

There is certainly something to the idea that the body of the elite (the Senate) sees things one way and the body of the people (the House) sees it another.
The problem is that the Senate has not been a truly elite ruling body since the passage of the 17th amendment. I am probably just ignorant as was shown in my post last week, but I am personally inclining toward not being ready to believe that the sky is falling either. I'm not convinced. But maybe I'm wrong.
