There is no mention of the effect of the 17th amendment on the current situation. There cannot be a restoration of the Constitution without restoring state control over Congress.

Let’s start with dismantling the unconstitutional portion of the feds which is probably about 80% or around $3 trillion worth, and reasserting state constitutional sovereignty.

That takes care of the 800 pound gorilla. The key is, again, the American people and the states taking ownership of their freedom and their Constitution. Once this all happens, and to maintain a limited government, the 17A AND 16A should and could be repealed,

Exactly right. Removal of the 17th is simple, efffective and cannot be cheated.
