Some folks say that "the people" can fix this mess -- and that's true. But will they? We got here basically because the mob wanted something like this: "Take care of me! Give me stuff!" I'm not sure the mob will change its mind.
I think the states might undo this. If Senators were still chosen by the states, this never would have happened. If governors and stat elegislatures can see that this is not in their best interest, then nullification may be a viable way out of the mess.
But if the feds resist state nullification, then we are back in the days of Chief Justice Taney. Very messy indeed.
If senators were still chosen by governors mine would have been demonRATS forever. TN just went GOP since reconstruction last year.
