As with bunch of other stuff about the constitution, there's this
'interpretation' thing.  Some consider above provision unamendable 
and others contend there are ways in which it can be changed, for 
example, repeal by amendment, and then another amendment could be 
adopted permitting 'unequal' representation in Senate.  Re. latter
happening, I wouldn't hold my breath.   Michael Hoover
