Is that what you REALLY want? A “true” democracy? Rule of the mob? There is a reason that a REPUBLIC was put in place by the Founding Fathers: to avoid tyranny of the majority. If you want a democracy, head to Europe or elsewhere. We are a constitutional republic (at least we used to be) and not a democracy.

End of discussion.

Senate?
Senate?
We don't need no steenkin' Senate.

Repeal was being sarcastic. He pinged me on the subject earlier this year and I've taken it up.

IMO, repeal of the 17th is a prerequisite (not a panacea) to restoration of our liberties.
