The Inutility of the senate

Apparently, the email of which I posted last time also has the chattering classes abuzz and thinking hard about the senate. Here are views from baratillo@cubao and Sassy Lawyer. Also a column by Jarius Bondoc. Sen. Miriam Santiago, too, makes her views well known, for what they're worth.

Is this the spark that would start a serious debate on the subject? One can only hope. Personally, my views haven't changed since the salonga senate. Even if divorced from the Arroyo issue, the senate is still useless.
