The 1980 election was more than just a change of party control from Democratic to Republican. Gone was the Senate that had been experienced, progressive and bipartisan; 30 years have passed, and the decline has only accelerated. The Senate today is bitterly divided, frequently paralyzed and borderline bizarre. Olympia Snowe offered this sad observation: “We have been miniaturized.” When I was growing up, and learning about our gov't, it was the Senate I was most proud of after the Supreme Court. Now both are tainted.
