The problem is not the filibuster, the problem is the 17th Amendment and the liberals designed it to cause the problems we have today.

[Jacquerie]

The 17th Amendment is indeed responsible for most of the assaults on free government these past 115 years.

Here is the first of three exhaustive squibs on our once senate of the states. I think you will enjoy them.

Excerpt:

Subtitle: Progressives Blow Up the Framers’ Constitution.

In continuance of the Senate of the States series, the next three squibs leave the Federal Convention and visit the decades leading to the destructive 17th Amendment (17A).

The 17A triggered a cascade of stunning downwind consequences, perhaps only second to the immediate post-Civil War amendments. As opposed to the 13th – 15th Amendments which reset society, the 17A reset our republican governing form. Overnight, the 17A transformed the Framers’ exquisite compound democratic/federal structure into a democratic form deadly to republics.
