Getting rid of the 17th would be huge. But right now our country is bleeding to death. I think the 10th could be used to stop the bleeding and regain some health. The strength and confidence the states would gain might then be a springboard for an Article 5 convention to rescind the 17th. But I think that's down the road a way, and a pipe dream unless we stop the communist / globalist steamroller smashing toward us right now.
The 14th was, originally, intended to “level the playing field” among the States looking to assert their 10th Amendment rights and privileges.
It should have been tied to the Interstate Commerce clause. “The Commerce Clause authorizes Congress to regulate commerce in order to ensure that the flow of interstate commerce is free from local restraints imposed by various states.”
So...COVID rules anyone?
I have to wear a mask in my local Home Depot but...not Home Depot in Texas.
