I think I am beginning to see through this.
Graham thinks the health care bill is a done deal so he can rant about it and look good (he thinks) to his people back home.
He can shaft them on the carbon tax thing and still say that he is conservative because he fought the health bill.
After all, you can’t expect him to agree with you on everything...
Repeal the 17Th Amendment.
Return the selection of senators to the state legislatures as our founding fathers intended. This is the only sure way to return to the states their lawful rights under the Constitution. Senators will then, as actual representatives of the states rather than the people, protect states rights and prevent the federal government from destroying the states with unfunded mandates
You’ve got the answer 100% correct FRiend. Passage of the 17th Amendment was the final nail in the States coffin. We can bring the dead back to life only by repealing the 17th - but what a fight that will be.
