“Repealing the 17th would fix everything within a decade.”

So corrupt state legislatures will elect honest US Senators?

So the lame excuse for the 17th went in the first place. The facts show that more corrupt State Legislature people were run off in short order than there have been Federal folks run off for corruption and far fewer have ever been prosecuted.

State Legislatures are more likely to represent the will of the people they represent than anything Federal, even the US House. It's also a lot easier and cheaper to run for the State Legislature which means it's easier to throw out corrupt people who make it to the Legislature.

There's a better than 50/50 chance BarryCare would have made it into law if State Legislatures could recall Senators who were not representing the people of the State even with the democrat fascists holding a majority in both Houses of Congress.

Of course, the Party Machine has less power in most places which means the little people have an insufficient number of their "Betters" telling them how to live and why exporting US prosperity and jobs to enrich national corporations is going to happen whether the little people like it or not.

That was your point, that all the right people won't dictate to all the little people, right ?
