Why would MA senators take action that p!sses off the legislature, a small group of men and women, who, unlike the dumb masses, will pay close attention to every vote?

Oh, and Mark's amendment allows for state recall of senators who get stupid and forget for whom they work.

The 17th amendment was no small tweak to our constitution. It fundamentally screwed up the careful system of our framers.

Booting the states from the senate not only allowed, but our framers KNEW it would result in consolidated, oppressive government.

I would love to have Massachusetts senators take action that outrages the legislature. Massachusetts legislators are by and large even dumber than your average Masshole.
