Not that I think it is going anywhere after all this time, but anything that might dilute the effect of the Great Compromise/Connecticut Compromise is off the table for me. The union of states flatly never have occurred were there not some way of allocating votes that gave small states a boost in power against the vast states like CA and TX.

The Compromise was hard-fought without which there would have been no USA in the sense of what we now have. Proponents believed it was essential to not get into a situation where small states could be bullied by larger states, and that seems to me. To make voters feel less empowered with a measure like this just adds to the perception.

At any rate, after this week the idea will be further back-burnered I'd guess
