Those democrats repeatedly overrule the will of the people and legislature of the state they’re supposed to represent.

As is the case in other states, I'm sure. Logically, with the population concentrations of large cities vs. rural areas, this scenario probably plays out more often than the reverse.

You are too far down in the weeds.

Legislative power in republics belongs to those on whom the government acts. Since they preexist the Revolution, the states are component members of the American Republic along with the people.

The constitution acts on both the people and the states. Both should be represented in congress. Removal of the states set up an internal contradiction hostile to liberty. It makes as much sense to remove the states from the senate as it would to remove the people from the House. None.

We are paying dearly for the mistaken 17th Amendment. The wonder is that it took a hundred years for an Obama to appear.

The 17th must go.
