A representative can ignore constituents for 22 months and then suddenly rediscover them during the last two. And senators can become unresponsive to their voters for most of their six-year term, enjoying junkets and the other fruits of power while being under no obligation to get anything done. Makes you almost sympathize with the Democratic Socialists of America, who have made abolition of the Senate one of their top priorities.

The Senate needs to go back to being the voice of the states as an institution. Repeal of the 17th Amendment will do that!
State legislatures couldn’t do worse. For example highly doubtful a date legislature would appoint the same person more then twice. Plenty state legislators and grand poo-bahs would lust for that job!

Yeah, we've got the worst offender in that regard here in Oklahoma. Some red headed pimp named lankford. He's awol until a month before the elections and then he says, "We've got to address the illegal immigration issue, blah, blah..."

He gets re-elected and goes awol again.

We need to primary that sorry excuse but the GOP's been castrated in OK.

Meanwhile, the kalifornia commies have flooded in and work overtime to implement their suicidal agenda. And they're winning. OKC and Tulsa, our two biggest cities, are going into the sewer at warp speed.

And lankford is doing what he does best, viz. hiding, waiting for the other shoe to drop, and then that pimp's gonna show his true self.
