So senators exercise some responsibility, for perhaps one year, the last year out of six. That is about the limit of the best constituents’ memory.

If senators were appointed by state legislatures, I guarantee each and every one of their votes would be closely scrutinized and duly noted.

I never understood the importance of that amendment. I do now.
