Well of course, since it's so blatantly hypocritical. When talking about the Senate, people claim the states are sovereign and separate, but when legislating regarding the drinking age, civil liberties, or even just how schools work, all of a sudden every state is compelled to play along as if the United States was a unitary nation-state. Besides, if we really wanted to equalize things, even within a federal system, we could just split up some of the larger states, which would instantly increase the voter efficiency of people living there. Whether power rests at the federal level or the state level, people deserve control over the decisions that affect our lives.
