Unfortunately, passage of the 17th Amendment has undermined this aspect of Publius’s argument. The Senators no longer represent the States; they are direct representatives of the people (just as the House is).
The biggest problem with the 17th amendment is the fact that senators are elected by popular vote. If they were elected on an electoral type of system by house districts won I think things would look very different.

Interesting reflections on impeachment and the 17th Amendment.

So were his comments about having an enemy opposing you instead of in your camp for which we were responsible...but people were not too interested in hearing that and demanded we elect ‘lesser evils’.

the republican majority in the house is too cowardly to impeach a _resident of color.
a BJ (or lying about one) seems was a bigger crime than the plethora of high crimes this Kenyan/Indonesian POSOTUS has committed.
We need to take this country back or take back the parts that value the constitution and leave the rest to their performance of Sodom and Gomorrah.
