DIVERSITY OF WHAT? I like Kay's linkage of geographical quotas and diversity quotas. To suggest that maybe women should have vaguely equal-esque representation in the House of Representatives is seen as crazy, totally unAmerican. But of course the four bearded men and a dog who live in Montana should get precisely the Senatorial clout of the tens of millions inhabiting California. Why the experience of being a Montanan is more unique and worthy of political protection than that of being a woman isn't immediately apparent, but never mind. The Founders made it this way and they had magic wisdom wigs. --Ezra Klein
