You may have a point, but I don’t think it will ever happen...don’t 2/3 of the states have to ratify a change in the constitution?

3/4 of states are needed to ratify. And don’t think that it’s necessarily impossible. Right now, about half of our states have resolutions in some stage of development in their legislatures asserting their state sovereignty under the 9th and 10th Amendments. It would be difficult not to see the efficacy of repealing the 17th Amendment to achieve this goal of asserting their sovereignty.
