Im afraid there seems to be a miss-understanding between us.
I don’t dispute your findings, nor your conclusions on political reality as it stands today. I don’t even dispute the poor wisdom in directly confronting that political reality with the truth about Constitutional federalism and the 17th Amendment.
What I say here on that matter i say because it is the frank truth. So long as our State legislators have no means by which to protect themselves from Federal usperation in the senate. The Federal Constitutional system is fundamentally broken and will only deteriorate more over time.
Ultimately if we wish to restore the Constitution restoring the Senate will be nessary for any kind of constitutional stiblity, eyther that or something else even more powerful will have to take its place.
Politically speaking we might actually be able to get away with proposing an amendment to allow state legislators to recall senators. Althou ultimately we need something to force Washington to not only respect its constitutional bounds and stay out of the domestic sphere, or to force it. Perhaps a state appointed Constitutional court.
Thanks for the clarification.
