How could the country possibly have survived without the 17th Amendment? /sarc

With all due respect to patriot voters, the referenced senators probably don’t know the federal government’s constitutionally limits powers any better than the voters who elected them probably do.

More specifically, these misguided Democratic senators, and likewise misguided Rep. Waters, unsurprisingly don’t seem to understand that the only express constitutional power that the states have given Congress to deal with race-related issues is limited to resolving voting rights problems, evidenced by the 15th Amendment.

• "15th Amendment:

  Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

  Section 2: The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added].”

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Also consider that, regardless what FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.1) when they wrongly decided Wickard v. Filburn in Congress’s favor imo, it remains that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had emphasized the already reasonably clear meaning of the Commerce Clause, that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce.

"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." -Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

The ultimate cost of this bill by desperate Democrats trying to stay in power would be another unthinking, unconstitutional expansion of the already unconstitutionally big federal government's powers.

Patriots, we need to work with our state lawmakers in supporting PDJT to lead the states to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.

The first step in this process would be to send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

I thought the federal government had no control over ‘the Fed’?!
