“When this argument came up awhile ago, I listed what the makeup of the U.S. Senate would look like now, and the numbers were scarcely different overall. “
If you still have that list, I’d be interested in taking a look. Thanks.
If legislators are appointing senators, I believe that it’s less likely that liberals representing the interests of other states would be tolerated.

There’s still a lot positive to be said about cheering for and standing up for the home team. It’s human nature.
Impy, do you know where I put that breakdown list for the Senators if the 17th were repealed ? I’m terrible with bookmarking significant posts.
The post would look something like this:

MS (2R) (would be: 2D)
