Thank you for referencing that article Helicondelta. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
Patriots are reminded that a Senate controlled by a simple majority is basically a lame-duck Senate. This is because the fur doesn’t fly, removing a House-impeached president from office (1.3.6), or overturning a presidential veto (1.7.2), unless the Senate can secure a constitutionally mandated 2/3 majority vote, a 2/3 House majority also required for overturning veto.
I suspect that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress is very happy that the Senate doesn’t have the 2/3 vote, regardless that low-information patriots have had three election cycles to have hypothetically replaced every member of the Senate by now, but have failed to do so.
The last paragraph needs to replaced with clear thought, English is not enough.
You keep on advocating repeal of the 17th Amendment and now suggest that any conservative disagreeing is a "low information patriot."
Translating your argument into understandable English and brushing the foam off the beer, you have a problem with popular election of United States senators. You would prefer that the special interests directly BUY all the seats in the Senate by paying off corrupt, slimy little nationally unknown state legislators. Are you a state legislator salivating over Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Big Energy, Big Labor, Big Construction, etc. bidding up and up the price of your vote? Do you dream that generations of your family yet unborn will bless your memory for raking in millions in payoffs just for cooperating in the sale of the Senate to "the interests?"
Even if you are not a state legislator, those ARE the dreams of every state legislator in the land if the people should ever be suicidal enough and stupid enough to give up their right to elect their own senators. Under our 17th Amendment system, we have no one to blame but ourselves for the Ted Kennedys, Harry Reids, Schmucky Chewmers, et al. Under your proposal, we would be consigned to fatalism and despair over the impossibility of getting state legislators to behave in such a way as to benefit the citizens rather than themselves.
