Wouldn’t need the danged thing if we returned to the original constitution, where the state’s selected their Senators.

For then the state governments would have their ‘ambassadors’ to the Federal government.

But instead, we have the travesty of having two houses of the legislature acting as the ‘people’s house’, ie: House of Representatives.

And thus the Federal legislature would return to normal, with one House speaking for the people, and the other - the Senate - speaking for the states.

I wouldn't have agreed with you before but the more I think about it, the more I tend to agree.

Everything now depends upon the attention and grasp of Constitutional principles as understood by the man or woman on the street. The People are now saddled with the complete responsibility of checking the Federal government.

Given that the Leftists control the educational system, it appears that even if such a system could work, it has little chance of success in the long term.
