Heck, the 17th never passed in the first place. Who cares? Nobody alive will suspend the fraud anyway.

The explanation for failure to pass the 17th: Madison put a little tidbit in the Constitution that said “no state, without it’s consent can be deprived of sufferage in the Senate without it’s consent” This put the 17th in the unanimous catagory for passage. Several states voted against the 17th and were then deprived of their sufferage without their consent. The Republic then was lost to the mob and the States were excluded.
