This is why we need to repeal the 17th Amendment!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yeah, repeal it and empower the politicians even more.

[Jacquerie]

Amen.

The new senate beginning in 1913 is a monster, a political Frankenstein that combines the worst of long termed popularly elected politicians with incredible power tied to the executive branch.

No way would a state appointed senator think of challenging an obviously needed law.

It is way beyond time for an Article V amendment convention.

OBAMA/HOLDER ON A ROLL The DOJ is considering taking action against NC, Texas and a handful of states after the USSC struck down part of the Voting Rights Act earlier this year. In a narrow decision, the justices invalidated a portion of the law that required a number of Southern states with a history of voter suppression to clear all new voting regulations with the federal government. The court ruled that the criteria are outdated and gave Congress the option of updating it...... lawsuits have already been filed by other groups challenging the NC law.

Jerome Corsi writes in his book "What Went Wrong" in 2012-----that swing state Dem voter fraud is a fact of life unless voter ID happens.

Yep. I can’t imagine a founding father who would have expected a Seantor to turn the federal government against their own state.
